From my experience Valentine 1 is the way to go. Valentine 1 is a little expensive but its worth every cent. Valentine 1 has saved us from a few tickets and is very dependable. There have been many times when it goes off and you expect to see a patrol car in front of you. Just as you think that this thing is broken a patrol car comes over the hill. The warning gives you so much time its crazy. For sure worth the cash
lol that is soooo true, I was giving my dad a ride on the interstate the otherday and the V1 went off... minute later my dad goes "whats soo good about this thing"?? then a cop passes by. Ohh and you very well can pick up radar in a hilly area. i do all the time. And dont get a cobra... their crap

i got a county ordinance ticket for speeding (was bookin it 135) at about 3 am in the morning straight backroad was stupid but no cars around and road was straight, slowed back down to the speed limit cop came flyin up behind me and pulled me over and was like do you know how fast you were goin i said no, and tried to argue my way out of it but he gave me a ticket for 15 over, point being his radar gun was off i didnt have a radar detector and maybe it would have picked it up (doubt it) but apparently they are certified to know how fast your going when you pass them he told me i was doing in between 90-100 mph when i passed him (didnt see him) it was pretty lame i felt i shouldnt have gotten a ticket for it but then again speeding is illegal[:'(]
