i am looking at the v1..i love it and i love how it detects from far away..
anyways i was reading up on some new LIDAR techonology that catches speeders and the V1 doenst go off or anything..

so what should i do?/..just go ahead and buy it or what?

 

hmm dont know much about radar detectors....never owned one......but i do wonder what would be a good one to buy....

 

i heard the v1's are the best..look it up on youtube..they got mad vidoes of the V1 in action

 

have it...use it...love it.

 

have it too...use it too...love it too.

 

hmmm v1 ill check it out....am interested in getting a radar...

 

Have it..use it..love it..

Pays for itself, trust me

 

whats the newest version?

 

I have had many best one so far ive had is a Belltronics 920 .

Its never let me down. The V1 is said to be a bad **** but the$$$ cost is expensive.

I paid about $240 new


Get one especialy if you fly low

 

well i think overall the V1 is my final choice..i just wanted to know if in like a year it would be worthless with new technology the cops are having...

 

The bottom line with cops and radar detectors is, if they're using Laser, it's instant on/instant off, so unless you're lucky and there's someone right in front of you your radar detector will likely not help you. HOWEVER, I have owned radar detectors since I was 16, and I wouldn't drive without one. They pay for themselves in no time - just don't trust it to allow you to drive 20 over the speed limit and always save you. I've got an Escort SOLO and it has probably paid for itself 20 times over in 5 years. Only ever gotten one ticket which was completely my fault (95+ in a 45, cop's radar only registered 80 'cuz he was really far away at an angle). I've learned a lot since then - can't drive like that and expect not to get a ticket.

If you can afford it, go with a V1 - you won't be disappointed. I'm purchasing one in the near future.

 

i owned one i got rid of it gave it to my friend for his birthday... i dont need em besides cops got a thing called eye sight if they see you speeding they don't need no radar.

 

^idiot! j/k


I have it, and to be honest I got a ticket with my v1, I took off on a light did not realize that had a trooper behind me....once I got to the speed he wanted to catch me at he lazerd me and and the only thing my v1 could do was to tell me im ****ed and get ready to bend over.

 

thats why us humans have this thing called common sense

RULE # 1 Look around before you decide to floor it

 

You gotta keep your eyes open when you're breakin' the law. I have a V1 and it's saved me at least 2 or 3 tickets a year, but just looking 1/2 a mile down the road, keeping an eye on the rearview, and watching onramps for cops entering the freeway behind me has saved me twice that many tickets.
