Two speeding tickets both times had V1 on, but CHP not using radar either times. First time CHP parked on overpass and must have spotted me in fast lane. He easily made a left turn onto freeway and nabbed me two miles down the road. Second time CHP on motorcylce in slow lane in front of big rig just waiting for speeders to zoom by (that's me). I was told both times they followed and gauged my speed using their speedometer. I have my VI hardwired in my glovebox and when pulled over simply shut the glovebox door. Thank god they didn't see the V1 Lessons learned:

- That's why they're called Radar Detectors not Cop Detectors.
- Be pleasant and courteous and admit to your lapse of bad judgement to the CHP and get only a speeding ticket (as opposed to reckless, excessive display of speed, etc)
