Warn other drivers that there's a radar trap or cop w/radar in the area.

Or be a sick bastard and see who gets caught.


I still signal people when the coast is clear and disable my V1 remote to let people behind me know.

I guess it's old fashioned southern driving, and some habits need not be broken.

 

I only warn oncoming drivers if I was warned by someone. If no one flashes me, I don't flash anyone else!!

 

i do the flashing and the braking thing to others...if u guys don't know about the braking thing, u tap your brake lights on and off repeatedly for a few seconds...i usually do a double tap..like <tap> <tap> wait half a second <tap> <tap>...similar to a heart beat...i've seen people on Long Island do it, but rarely.

question...what purpose does it solve to turn your V1 off?? can the cops detect u have a detector??

 

I know I would cuz I was saved by a BMW's warning last Sat while going to Austin. He flashed twice slowly so I slowed down while the truck behind me switched lane and sped up . He got pulled over and I kept driving. Thanks that BMW.

 

Yes, i flash my lights when possible

 

I'm only turning off the remote display, and the main unit's LEDs are enabled again.

V1 owners will know what I mean.

 

well im not a V1 owner...yet...so enlighten us as to y u would turn it off please

 

Here in TX, we flash the lights constantly.

 

Habit I guess.

Back in the OLDE days, people use to draft someone that had a radar detector. Following lane changes, speeds, etc. So I used the remote often.

And it works great driving thru VA and DC at night.

 

Hmmm.... If everyone used that logic, then NOBODY would ever flash anybody.

Think about it.

 

I always flash, although I heard you can get pulled over for that :shrugs:

I never heard of the brake thing though, although I pay attention to the road when I speed and if a fast car in a front of me is braking, I will slow down too. Common sense.

 

In AZ noone ever flashes anyone. I was driving in British Columbia last summer and everyone was flashing me. I flashed them right back, thinking they thought me brights were on or something...little did I know there was a cop around the corner. I felt like a jerk. Those friendly Canadians were only trying to help me out...

 

Yup, I flash too and I sometimes even flick the headlights!

 

I drive on the highway I-19 to work each day, V1 works great, I always flash if I 've driven by a trap, come on its us against them, help a friend out. As far as being able to be detected by the police, The V1 can't. While police to have radar detector detectors, the V1 has a radar detector detector dectector ans when it detects one it temp. shuts off and warns you. Whew!

 

And just wait till piggies get radar detector detector detector detectors.

 

Where the fuck is it stated the V1 has this funcitionallity?

Temp shut down when it "detects" VG2 detecttors? Do you know what you are talking about?.....

Be more realistic!

 

What kind of V1 do YOU have??? The V1 website states: (and I recall my manual saying something like this)
"...So VG2 misses Valentine One. But even if it were tuned to the right spot, we'd still be hard to find because we use sophisticated filtering. In our tests, Valentine One is better than all others for VG2-proofing"

I don't see any light or anything that would tell me that a detector detector is running!

But I've been known to be blind sometimes too...

 

I didn't know V1 shuts down

The orginal rumor was the RDD locks-in on a leaky RD, but the V1 was able to change or cycle different leaky frequencies. Therefore, the RDD never locks-in. THAT'S MY LIE, AND I'M STICKING WITH IT. :p

Where's kensteele when you need answers

 

Sounds Kind of Like the Phone Buster, and the Phone Buster Buster Buster from that movie

 

I dont have radar but if im on a highway and I see a pig hiding out trying to be slick I will flash my lights at the oncomming traffic....when i smell bacon i let everyone know..

 

it trace buster...lol any way i used to think fuck em but you know now ive decided i hate cops ...if a woman and two children were killed in an accident hit run no evidence no witnesses oh well ..but let it happen to a cop and the whole world comees to an end the FBI every officer is on a man hunt ...the're more important than we are and sorry for the rant i was hit and run just 500 $ damage got a palte saw the guy he got out of his car and wanted to fight ...the trooper went to his house he 2 wks later he said "it wadent me!" and the tropper said "oh i guess it wadent you! i'm gonna go kill the fool told'dem lies!!" so fuck the po lice

 

I flash if I see jackass' hauling ass....it works, it slows them down !
