I must be behind with the times. How does a GDO opener stop you from getting zapped my a speed laser gun? Are they just regular GDO's?

Some use the same frequency 904 nm laser light, so it effectively blinds a laser speed detection device on the same frequency
How do I find out if mine does this?

If you actually purchased the device to open a garage door then it most certainly won't work to confuse laser guns. The devices being talked about here are blatently designed solely to avoid laser detection so that the driver can continue to speed without regard for the law and use the supposed capability of opening a garage door as a "cover" to justify their fitment to the car.
Real garage door openers conventionally use radio signals, not laser emissions.
The legal devices that warn of speed detection devices are freely available on the open market (TomTom satnav for one). Audible and visual speed warnings by these devices, such as when you exceed the limit, aims to bring your speed awarness back. I think this can only be a good thing.
Yes drivers should know thier speed all the time but in the real world this is not the case.
(1) flashing roadside display sign warning the driver they are entering a built up area
(2) Most people will obey the speed limit in built up areas if they are "helped" to do so. Punishing them with fines is
(3)a tacit admission of failure since this means the system has singularly failed to modify their driving [/I]
(4)won't help that kid crossing the road in the here and now.
That is absolutely not true. Some garage door opening devices working on Infra red as opposed to radio signals will jam a laser gun and are designed for opening garage doors not blatantly designed to avoid laser, It's just a nice side benefit
