+1 on the Valentine.

Got mine on eBay--it was maybe a year old, picked it up for somewhere around $250 IIRC. Been happy with it, though it's no panacea*. You still have to be watchful and anticipate where 'bogeys' (their terminology) might be lurking. To some extent, if you're reading it, it's reading you, though there's lots of factors (distance, other traffic, etc.) At a minimum, it tells you when not to keep on blindly accelerating.

I use it a lot, mostly trying to get a feel for where traps are being set up. Most of the time, when it goes off, I'm NOT speeding (my definition of 'speeding' is 10 or more over the posted limit). I do think the arrows are helpful.


*which, on further thought, I should also point out: "None Of Them Are!"
