    Default Kinda Scary, i dont know if my V1 is broken or not.

    I just got it about 2 weeks ago, so far the only cop ive bumped into that had a radar gun was running instant on i dont know what band it was on though cuz i didnt get a chance too look cuz it happened so fast. So tonight, im driving back from work and i have my V1 up. Im about to get off my exit and im running 25 PSL i look to my side and their is a cop in a crazy good spot, i slam on my brakes look at my rear view make sure no one is tail gaiting me and then look at my V1 all i see it the little L.... im just thinking wtf!? I doubt he would be sitting in a spot like that with no radar, and the position he was in, the only way to shoot is to shoot in the back.... so im almost 100% it wasn't laser. What should i think? Have i not been getting off in half a mile i would have been going faster, and i wouldn't have looked their at all....

    He was probably running an instant on trap and you were not visibly going fast enough to bother sampling your speed so he never bother checking you.
    This is why a RD is not a full proof means of not getting a ticket. When you have a RD you need to not only use your RD as a tool but also be very mindful of your surroundings and be an educated driver.
    Just having RD alone without using your head is a sure way to get yourself a ticket.

    itisjustme - excellent explanation!

    Five, I'm figureing you went by when he was looking down to pick out another doughnut.

    Probably didn't see you or didn't care.

    His shift ends in 10 mins donnno

    In any case your lucky.

    Oh BTW, the V1 is designed to work so you do not have to look at it much once you get used to its chirp language.

    I'm with John on this one...he was looking down picking up all the stray sprinkles that fell from his doughnut which means your V1 is just fine!! (I hope)
