V1's problem is that it hasn't been updated in a few years. it needs GPS to lock out the standard "crap" that sets it off all the time... one good thing tho is that you can configure the unit as you want (like on my V1, X band is completely OFF)...
in FL, K band on the interstate is almost always a traffic sign speed flasher or a local cop when in town...
Ka band is hit the brakes in all circumstances.
I have seen some FHP guys running laser on 95, always on a tripod - always on the top of an overpass in the emergency lane - and yes, the V1 did light up well in advance of the trap... but i put zippo faith in detecting laser... by ANY detector.
i would not even consider owning an F without a very high quality detector... just a bad plan IMHO

40 km/h over 
While passing a truck on a curve on the highway... They were behind the curve obviously...
I think the Po here uses both radar and laser from as far as I heard. The one that got me was on a tripod, that's all I could say about it.

Are you going to court and plead it down. They shouldn't have any issues with lowering it to 20 over......or are you going to fight it under the circumstances? You might get a sympathetic judge.

It will pay you to opt for that. That plea will lower the fine and points allotment.
This won't get you out of your predicament, but will lessen the blow.
