Had an "almost" a couple weeks ago, driving from Ohio to NJ. Transitioned from the Ohio Turnpike to the Pennsylvania (I80), where the speed limit drops as you enter Pennsy. I had just gone through the toll booth and was still accelerating when I rounded this fairly tight (for an interstate) right hand turn and the parked trooper appeared as if by magic. The Valentine SCREAMED at me, but it was too late.
With him starting from a stop, and me moving (maybe 15 over the limit---this, of course, quickly dropping to zero over the limit), I had time to pull the V1 down and tuck it under the seat. Don't know if he saw it or not. Guy followed me (uncomfortably close, of course) for a couple miles, then slowly passed. Gave me the "slow down" signal with his hand as he did so. I waved "OK", smiling deferentially in an attempt to convey a "thanks for the break" message.
It's not an infallible system, but that's the only time I've come close to being stopped with the Valentine at work.
