Anyone ever max out their V1 at 9 bogeys detected? I did at the new clusterfuck roundabout at wehrle/kensington/harlem. ---

from what I understand, they can’t regulate light, so laser jammers are legal… but then again, if a cop want to give you a ticket, they can always find something. my V1 has saved me from laser… it won’t work if you’re the only car on the road… but I’ve had a few bounces from cars ahead save my ass. ---

I like to leave my radar detector on when i’m banging young girls in my back seat. As soon as I hear it go off, i throw my clothes on and get in the front seat. and tell the cop we’re just sitting here ---

My V1 has saved me countless times. Hardwired with no X band. Paid for itself in no time…I wouldn’t speed without one. In fact, saved me from instant-on somehow on the way home tonight. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/questions-about-radar-detectors/68982.md?page=2)
