Finall, and not to get nasty, I can tell you that if you haven't made an 800+ mile trip with a Valentine One in your car, and seen the number of speedtraps that it catches, then you just don't know what you're talking about. They catch plenty.

I will second this!!! the V1 has saved me more times that I can count in my both my prior car 328iS and has started again in my new MCS. I think that you are exactly correct, pick a time to go fast and not endanger anyone. Driving fast does not equal driving stupid if all things are taken into account. BTW I work at a large defense contractor that specializes in electronic countermeasure equipment.
