If your leading you have a good chance of getting popped.

I always drive right at the speed limit until some stooge passes me going faster, then I jump behind about 1/8 to 1/4 mile and follow.

When the stooge gets shot at by an instant on you will get a reading. Laser is tricky, depending on the angle of attack you might get a warning. I have gotten warnings from my V1 for laser as it was being shot at a car ahead, its picked up the scatter.


All that said I just drove to NC and then back to Florida, I was ticked off when I realized I left my V1 in my car and did not switch it over before the trip.

I used my cruise control a lot and kept a ways behind speeders in hopes they would flush out the fuzz. I basically kept it at 9 over any posted limit.

I know I went through a couple of traps and never had a second look at 9 over. In my FJ Cruiser, 9 over is plenty fast, in the Audi and Pcar, its crawling.
