There is a little bit of scatter with laser (when someone uses a laser pointer you can see red light even if it's not shining right directly into your eyes). Because of this, a laser contact is always a "brake HARD and DEEP, RIGHT NOW!" event (unless you're the only vehicle around in which case you're boned and get ready to take it in the shorts - shouldn't have been going fast solo).

Here's some more info. on it. Laser contact is not necessarily fatal, but you do need to react quickly and decisively to have a fighting chance (i.e. the next one doesn't hit you).

As a point of note, laser jammers are usually legal (and afford good protection). Radar hammers technically are not. They can't outlaw light, they can outlaw RF emissions.

Here's more (right off the V1 web site):
