New Val 1 saved my Butt !!
Just got a val 1 for Christmas from my wife. Doing 75 in 65 on freeway today. Val started singing. I put on the brakes slowed to about 64. looked uo the road and there sat a State Patrol.
I was the first car with 3 or 4 behind me. Never seen a patrol at this spot before and I travel this road often.
This thing is cool.
Oh, Sitting in church this morning. Suddenly I remember I left the V1 on in the car. Left my wife during the Sermon to go out and shut it off.
After service the guys wanted to know where I went. Sure they will be keeping an eye on me next Sunday.

Neat. Hardwire it to your ignition - that way it switches on and off with your engine.

Though CF does not condone speeding. The Radar Dectector is to keep your speed in line and give us little reminders there are people watching.
stay safe...

Good thing you had the V1 in the car. Got to stay ahead of those radar toting LEOs
