Speaking of Speeding, An Interesting V1 Factoid...
Until the last couple days I thought this just might be a fluke, but now I'm POSITIVE its no coincedence- the brake lights on Chevrolet Trailblazers and GMC Envoys trigger the laser on a V1 (and possibly other radar detectors). Has anyone else picked up on this? I've been paying specific attention- no cops around me use laser here, so everytime it goes off I know that its interference. On closer attention, I realized that everytime its gone off I've looked around and within 10 yards of my car there's been a trailblazer/envoy with its brakes on.
Further evidence: on a road trip a few days ago I followed on a 2-lane road a trailblazer for about 50 miles. EVERY SINGLE TIME he put his brake lights on my V1 freaked out laser-style. Haven't seen this with any other cars though...

No, I don't think they're LED's, is it possible they did that intentionally?
Maybe so that if someone's tailgating your car the brakelights will set off their radar detector making them think there's a cop so they'll back off? I doubt it, but who knows

it's gotta be LED taillights! try aiming a remote control at the V1 ...
it's fun! anyways, the orange colored road display signs (overhead or on the side of the road) also will trigger your V1's laser sensors.
