all i do is when it goes off i slow down as fast as i can, i really dont care where he/she is.
heck, just yesterday it saved me 4 times  |
Both are excellent no doubt.
The extra money is for the (1)arrows which after years of driving with detectors, is a BIG convenience. Once you've passed the threat you know it and can quit looking in the mirrors for that phantom trooper. (2) the v1's ability to pick up lazer from a trailing vehicle (tropper following you from behind, a few cars back) at
a higher rate than any other detector. This is a nearly impossible thing for nearly all detectors to do at all yet I've seen more than a few tests where the only one in the test to manage detecting a trailing threat was the V1.
on the downside it looks like the 1st Atari video game console and its more sensitive (more false alerts). But I don't think either is a bad thing.
