Another fabulous save today on the way into the office. I tend to take the back roads to avoid traffic congestion...Turned left into a long and relatively straight road with a few light bends and the V1 goes bonkers...About 200 metres down the road, white traffic car parked up on the verge and 1 bloke writing tickets and the other sitting in the car operating the radar....
This is the same road I picked up a ticket from around 5 months ago before buying the V1.... With the V1 screaming its head off, I drove past the traffic car - no other traffic around and was tempted to pick up speed again but the alert stayed on full and the arrows didn't swing around as I passed the traffic car...
I drove another 350-450 metres past a line of normal looking cars and the arrows switched to the side then flicked to the rear...Hauled a U turn and went back up the road... Black Holden, darkened windows, 2 traffic cops in high vis jackets sitting inside.. Hauled another U and returned past them again VERY slowly and waved - (RD's are not illegal in NZ), pointed to the detector and he switched off the radar ??? Boy did they look pissed!!
Basically another radar trap about 300 metres past the first one..Never seen this and certainly wouldn't have thought anything of it if I had my old Bel...God I love this thing..IF only it killed laser....
+1 to the arrows from me...
