Well, unfortunately, I can verify this as I got bagged today on the Mass Pike West, just past the Framingham rest stop (1 mile east of Exit 12, on the westbound side) at ~2PM.
I did have my V1, but it went off too late...and my unit is >4 years old (guess I need to update the firmware). The trooper clocked me at 83 in a 65....:bad::bad::bad::bad:er. My own fault, rushing home as my daughter was coming home from an emergency appendectomy and I was pushing it(usually just do 75 or so) to see her.
But the crazier thing was as he's writing me up, a car in the high speed lane spun out and went up the jersey barrier, and then came off it...I thought it was going to fly over into the eastbound lane.
Had to wait about 10 mins for the trooper to get that sorted out, etc. I thought he might tear my ticket up but no such luck.
$188, plus 3 years of surcharges. Ugh. I may fight it and see if I get a sympathetic judge, only my 2nd ticket in 30 years of driving, maybe I'll catch him / her on a good day?
