So not true on so many levels. I cannot count how many times my V1 saved my butt, both on the interstate and on the surface roads.
I cannot count how many times I have gotten a warning on I95 in Georgia 1/2 to 3/4 a mile before the trap only to watch the guy that blew past me as I moved over and slowed down get pulled over. I think it was a BMW, maybe you?
This is a newer road in town, its a 4 lane divided road that had a speed limit set at 35 MPH, 2 lane roads feeding into it from neighborhoods have a limit of 45. This road was made to be a speed trap. The police would put 1 motorcycle cop in the center median with a laser gun 2 stand off to the side of the road ready to jump in front of you and point you down the side road, and the rest (a good 15 -20 cars) sit on the side road and write them up.
I was in my MINI at the time and my Laser went nuts, I hit the brakes hard and took it from 50 to 30 as fast as I could. Then my V1 went nuts indicating I was being shot by a laser. I then saw the guy about 50 yards in front of me getting pointed to and pulled over.
I got the stink eye from the cop with the laser gun.
