I have a friend with the V1 he likes it. I have tried both, the V1 is bigger but has the arrows. The escort is smaller and has free firmware updates. I went with the passport as it seems to be easier to keep updated.

Laser is hard. Your only option is a laser shifter ( jams the laser for a few sec) this gives you a little bit of time to slow down. A detector can detect laser off the cars in front of you giving you a little bit more time.

I have a few friends who are cops up here. They can only do laser when stationary and even then they do not always get perfect readings, some times they have to hit a car a few times to get a proper reading. Burst radar will get you but I find most cops leave their radar on all the time. I always give my friend a hard time, because my detector always goes off at Starbucks or Tim hortons.


If you buy a radar detector it will pay for itself.
