V1 just paid for itself

[supercowpowers]

I was driving on "a highway" last night. For about a mile the left lane was closed for construction. After the lane opened up and the construction zone ended, I switched to the left lane but quickly got blocked by an idiot from West Virginia who just moved out there and didn't pass anyone. I passed him on the right, requiring a speed of about 85 or so (in a 65), and I was about to continue on my merry way until I heard the bogey lock tone...

The V1 had been alerting to a K-band speed sign on the other side of the road, and as soon as I heard the bogey lock tone I looked down and saw just the forward arrow and just the K-band indicator. That never happens there, so I coasted down to 65 just in time to pass the PSP trooper in the middle that must have been looking for idiots like me in a hurry to make up time after getting out of the construction...

This is my first real save that I wouldn't have had with a lesser detector. In every other encounter so far I was either warned by the CB first or there were no falses to contend with (and the cops were using C/O or really sloppy I/O so I didn't even need the range).

For $399 there is not a better RD. It's just like a Timex, it keeps on ticking, ticking, and ticking.

I have been saved a few times myself. The best one was in TX. On one side of the overpass a LEO was in the grass median zapping us. We then went over the top and there was another right there hitting the people that sped up after seeing the LEO. How many people they got because they didn't bogey counter and arrows I have no idea, but I am sure that the ones that have the ones that go beep beep beep are still wondering how they could have escaped that one.
