My V1 saved my butt today

My V1 saved my butt today. I was cruising on the Sunken Meadow Pkwy early this morning at "speed" tentatively pacing a CrossFire that blew past me trying to show off.

Suddenly my V1 alert tone went off and the strength meter was pinned. The Directional Arrow was pointing back behind me. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw nothing on the horizon. The meter stayed pinned as if a cop was tail gating me while shooting radar. I dropped back and slid into the right lane.

This went on for a few minutes and still nothing in my rearview mirror. I started to doubt my V1 thinking that maybe it was malfunctioning but I decided to keep the faith and trust it. About a minute later I saw him! A State Police highway cruiser closing the gap behind me. He was now visible on the horizon. He blew by me and continued ahead of me because I had already been doing the speed limit in the right lane long before he ever saw me. The CrossFire was not so lucky.

Thank you Mike Valentine
