#139 of 1206 BCT9 by bhepler Nov 11, 1999 (3:34 am)
Eh? I wasn't aware that they had this. Do you have a web site where I can find info on this thing? I have a BCT7 that has saved my butt a couple of times. I'm having a problem with the lockout button, though. I stopped using it when I bought my new car. I kind of miss it, though.
#140 of 1206 Got Tickets? by vac23 Nov 11, 1999 (5:19 am)
If you want a 100% fool proof way of not getting any ticket here the answer-DON'T SPEED!
#141 of 1206 vac23 by bhepler Nov 11, 1999 (3:12 pm)
Unfortunately, I would say that it is merely 95% fool proof way. Cops are human too, despite the rumors. There is also the problem that by going the speed limit, you are impeding traffic by not keeping up with the flow, causing a road hazard, etc. There's a pretty good discussion relating to this over in sportcars. Check it out. <Sportscars.296>

v1 may beat instant on with great sensitivity it can pick up instant at least 1 mile away but can't beat laser! depending where you are, sts got to watch for those unmark trooper. you may passed them with out knowing

yeah the reason I got a ticket was because the Idot in front of me was going like 60mph in a 70 or something like that. So after being behind him for a while I decided to pass him. Well that is when I got caught from a cop traveling on the other side of the road. I wasn't even done passing the freaken guy either. What is the dam difference anyways, 70 and 80 shoot aren't you gonna be likely injured doing 70 and 80? Well I guess I will never know since I don't plan on getting into an accident doing 70 or 80. Not to mention that I rather have some driving a sports car doing 70 or 80 then a semi truck or a sport utility.
#144 of 1206 The difference by bhepler Nov 12, 1999 (6:13 pm)
The difference between 70 and 80... is about $120 in revenue for the state you get caught in.
#145 of 1206 by vac23 Nov 12, 1999 (7:26 pm)
If the speed limit was 70 and the guy was doing 60, you have 10mph "more speed" to pass him.
#146 of 1206 VT1 GOOD PRICE by frogli Nov 14, 1999 (6:00 pm)
IS THE VT1 SOLD ONLY ONLY BY THE MANUFACTURER OR DO OTHER PLACES SELL IT. IF SO DOES ANYBODY NO HOW I CAN GET A GOOD PRICE ON ONE..
#147 of 1206 Same Price by blane Nov 15, 1999 (1:49 am)
frogli: Sorry (for all of us), but the Valentine One is only sold directly by the manufacturer, at full list price. Don't we all wish that we could have gotten a better price for the V1 elsewhere. Something about the short & curlies. It does seem to work the best though. Good luck.

Valentine 1 is by far the best on the market! It has saved me numerous tickets in past six months where my other detector had me marked all ready. Down side is cost but sometimes ya gotta pay to get the best. I also like the fact that you will never have to buy another because Valentine will update your detector as new technology develops, but of course you have to pay for the upgrade too! Ray T.
