Valentine One Radar Detector Moment of the Month
The Original: Nastiest Ambush Ever
Tim Grothause - Tampa, Florida
Same day as I got my sexy new V1, I hit the
nastiest ambush ever.
V1 said 3 Ka's ahead. HUH? Really? Back
off, changed lanes to right. Cleared the rise. Bingo! Two cruisers in the
median. Motors running. In gear. Brake lights go dark. They're rolling.
Both chase down their victims right before my eyes. Now I know how
wildebeest feel migrating
past lions.
The pack around me upped the pace. I guess
they figured all units were busy behind, writing out money orders.
Funny, but V1 was still talking; "Ka
ahead."
As I cleared the next rise, here's the
scene: One cruiser in the median, microphone in hand, and the entire pack
that had just barreled past me "brake dancing" all over to keep
from bunting the front guy who was trying to slow way down, never mind
that he was already toast. And SIX cruisers parked on the right shoulder,
and SIX authority figures standing alongside, motioning drivers into the massacre.
V1 is a religion, and I'm a believer.
