My day one with V1

**lie495fc** · 02-21-2011, 08:51 PM

actually it's my night one with V1. last night i was driving back to Boston from NYC i saw at least 4 to 5 cars got pulled over along the way. i was driving within PSL the whole time since i'm still new with RD.

When i just got out New York City on I-95. my V1 went screaming for a few seconds then off before a silver chevy on my right got pulled over by a patrol car that sneaked up to him from behind. that chevy was traveling at speed only a little stand out from rest of the cars around. i forgot to check which radar band it was.

half a hour later on I-95, V1 alart went off again as i drove by another patrol car that already pulled somebody over.

but as i was on I-84 the V1 was dead silent, i encountered at least 3 dark blue patrol cars either they drove pass by me or i drove by them as they were at the stop with their victims, the V1 didn't went off once. does that mean they use lidar only?

last night was a great experience for me.

You'll have many great experiences with the V1. Keep in mind, all leos that you encounter aren't going to be running any kind of radar. A lot of them turn their radar units off after pulling someone over.

That what unmamfqlm said and also you got to look out for laser in NYC which they shoot alot of.

I bought a V1 used last week and tested it out and i was so giddy. I never thought much of the arrows until i seen them i'n action. I was then like wow i did i do without them? I'll send it i'n and get it tuned. Then hardwire the V1 and Escort 9500 ix and alternate between city and highway driving.

I was the same way. One doesn't understand how useful the arrows are until they personally use a V1, or perhaps a future non V1 detector.

No doubt, once you get used to the Arrows, man it's hard to go w/out them.

Good on Ya / Getter Done!!!

No. LIDAR can only be used in a stationary configuration.

x2. CT also uses laser so be careful.
