I remember my Valentine V1 fondly. It was so clearly and immediately better than all the other radar detectors. Knowing where the signal was coming from was a game changer.
I’m not saying speeding is good, but when you’re on the road a lot and are a responsible driver there are definitely places where you can safely exceed the speed limit and where it feels like the police see enforcement as a fundraising opportunity rather than a safety issue.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI purchased my first one in the early 00s, and while I don't use it anymore, I have kept it because I love the engineering that went into it. I also had the opportunity once to talk to Michael on the phone, but did not know it was him at the time. I was inquiring how to get data off the ext port to correlate with GPS data, before Waze reporting was a thing (I was trying to create a historical speed trap map in my locality). He was knowledgable, but also patient and kind with my unsophisticated questions. A good engineer has left, that's the story, and that is sad.
