More reason for me to get a radar detector, I gotta do step on the gas and get it.

V1 will actually give you the best Lidar protection you can find in a radar detector. I have had all types of radar detectors and can tell you from experience that the V1 has saved my *** many times even with Laser.

The thing with laser is as soon as it goes off on your detector they have your speed. The only thing its telling you is they got your speed when it goes off. Its instant, no amount of breaking will save you.

That did not take long! I am only 2400 miles in and none yet, but I am trying to be extra careful. I assume this thing will get attention quicker than when I am cruising in my Altima.

Ha I own the same couple of cars, except my Z is an 11. I got a ticket in my altima and one in my Z. Shyt happens.

Deferred adjudication will avoid the points & record

I'm @ 12,500 and so far no tickets.

Been pulled over at least 6 times though, luckily all warnings.

I knocked on wood for you.

Lets see... since October 2011: 1 speeding ticket, 1 red light violation, and 2 fix-it tickets for tint & missing front license plate.

2 tickets for me, and I'm half-expecting to be mailed a speeding camera ticket from about a week ago

But at least the speeding camera one only carries a fine and won't effect my insurance.

Sorry to here it. They haven't caught up to me yet.

Actually drive what must be the most heavily patrolled hwy in the bay area. Get her up to 69 and hit the cruise control when traffic allows. Good gas milage and no tickets.

Makes for a boring ride home though.

I hope you continue being spared today. Have fun and good luck.
