I don't understand some of these posts. He already said that the seatbelt thing was a joke. Oh well.

If you want raw sensitivity and you don't mind a lot of falses and are willing to spend 400 bucks get a V1.

If you want a quiet detector that also does a good job of detecting radar get the Escort 9500ix.

If you are looking for a good remote mount detector get the Escort 9500ci or the Beltronics STI-R.

If you are on a budget but you want a good detector get a Whistler SE detector, a Beltronics V995 or an Escort 8500 refurb.

All of these detectors will only tell you if a cop is nearby because it is a radar detector, not a cop detector. There is no such thing as a cop detector, be careful with the terminology around here.

Trouble is, juries are not required to adhere to the law in arriving at a decision/amount.

Actually they are, it's called jury instructions.

Under jury nullification, jurors have the right to judge the validity and morality of the law as well as the facts under which a defendant is being tried. A jury which exercises this right may do so in direct conflict with jury instructions from the court.

A voir dire hearing would likely restrict any testimony/evidence of the fact that a seat belt was or was not worn before the jury even got a chance to hear it.

Regardless, a skilled lawyer can introduce restricted facts by manipulating testimony, which would only result in the jury being instructed to disregard and the Reporter ordered to strike it from the record. Documentation for jury inspection can also be skillfully manipulated to circumvent said restrictions. Logic assumes that it would weigh into deliberations regardless of any instructions to proceed otherwise.

Yesterday was a happy day as I finally received a copy of the lawyer's Demand for Settlement. It's at the high end of BASE naturally, but even if I were to recover in that amount it wouldn't be adequate compensation for all the misery the accident caused me.

Again, apologies....

A V1 will keep you safe without a seatbelt but with the new Redline you can drive NAKED with no seatbelt.

It all depends on what you're looking for. Do a search. This has been covered thousands of times already...

That's good one .. driving NAKED. There are some things you need to keep out of your head. Men driveing Naked is one of them.... now good looking girls would be interesting.

BTW to get back on subject .. keep the seat belt on so you can live to speed!

I tested my V1 for a couple of weeks. It was very annoying with all the false beeps. In some cases I would get 4 or 5 false beeps on one intersection. I was even getting laser alerts from certain brake lights in front of me. It was funny to watch the brake light come on and my V1 would go mad.

I have an Escort 9500ix ON its WAY. I am looking forward to trying the GPS and other up-to-date functions.

IMHO, THE V1 IS OLD SCHOOL
