I heard that V1 never shuts up kinda like a woman, so you'd never know when to listen. V1 is $400 Escort is $450 I could easily afford V1. I will try both and let you know.
i've got nothing against radar detectors, i own one from a period where i travelled a lot on business but the best defense is a keen sense of all traffic laws. speed limits are far more reasonable than they used to be in a group of traffic, you're unlikely to get singled out. all alone, you can get 'instant onned', even with a detector i lapsed my license accidently, and had to take a (written) test because it was a few months out of date. i studied carefully because no way did i want to risk failing. it really refrshed the fine points watch speed limits, and keep speed at limit plus 5, you dont need a detector
It's always been $399 and you can only get it from the manufacturer. https://store.valentine1.com/store/
Ahh, strange. I saw it listed for $500 somewhere. I am hearing the V1 is far too sensitive to false-signals. Bought the Escort 9500 today.
I agree with you but for a long trips to Las Vegas or Mammoth Lakes it should help. I try to keep my speed at 90.
The V1 is awesome. Got mine about 5 yrs ago and it's saved my ass many a time. Those arrows and the very filtered sensitivity are totally worth the price, whatever it is today. opm8
