Beltronics STi Driver
Since I'm stuck in VA right now, It was the only way to go. It cant be detected by "radar detector detectors" that state police have in VA, DC and NJ. In the testing I studied before I bought it, the best three were the Passport (9500x i think), Sti Driver, and V1 and they all had about the same range. You can just put mine right beside the thing the police use and their device could not eve tell its there.
450.00 direct (for warranty). No issues with it.
I also love the dark mode; it alarms but the display stays blank. Way better at night. There aren't any V1 arrows, but u can always tell by the speed of the sound where the trap is. Easily learned. In any case, no matter what detector, when K, Ka, or Laser alarms go off u always slow down hard immediately. I am not sure if V1 does laser but i think so. LE uses laser (new technology) in CLEAR weather and It'll get your speed within seconds if you're in the beam.
My detector has saved me probably 10,000 or more. I always use it on highways. I never speed around town. Only ticket I've gotten with it on was because i had the top down and music blasting and i didn't hear it for about 3 secs. Even then, I was able to greatly reduce my speed before the officer got a much lower reading.
Whatever u get, get the best model (aside from custom installed), as you get what you pay for. And don't rely on it, your eyes are much more important. You wont believe how any police are riding right along in traffic along with you pacing ppl with their radar off. Id say only 20% of police I see on a daily basis are using radar/laser!!
