My V-1 has paid itself over many, many times. The only annoying part is that certain vehicles' brake lights cause a false laser warning.

I'm with legion on the spectrum approach as well, and following a stooge. Strangely, when certain folks see a wide, loud 930 they feel they have something to prove ... and I just let 'em get ~ 1/4 mile ahead and watch them prove it.

That said, on certain roads with lots of elevation change and twisties (like Route 17 between Binghamton and Middletown) driving with such caution involves a lot of this: crest hill, accelerate, eyes up and out, see upcoming blind corner/hill crest, brake, coast through high-threat zone, re-accelerate, repeat as necessary. Not that that's "bad", but the constant inertial adjustment can annoy the snot out of passengers.
