I use this to my advantage and am able to slow down as someone panic brakes at the crest of a hill. Otherwise, I generally slow down to 5 over at the top of a hill. Watching other drivers ahead can give you a lot of clues--long before you ever see the cop.

When driving the pickup, I know I'm not a big target unless I have a lift kit, 30" rims, or a loud exhaust (none of which I have). I know that I can go 5-10 mph over the limit in it and not get a blink from a state trooper.

In the 951, I know that I will get pulled over for doing 1 over when everyone else is doing 10 over. I actually drive that car slower on the interstate. I do know plenty of fun backroads though...

My V1 is definitely helped me in canyons, beach areas, etc... On open highways, I think a lot of CA patrol like to pace you anyways.
