Picks signals up around bends, over hills, etc. A good investment if you have a lead foot all the time. 
Really need a radar detector

valentine one saved my *** last night. Me and another Vette was crusing around 120-140 on the way home and it beeped just once. 200 yards later a DPS officer was sitting in the ditch. We both had one and when it beeped it was a race to slow down. I LOVE MY V1.

Then when he walks up to the car and sees it your hear something like i guess u have that thing because you speed all the time, oh yeah sign hear......
Well, when he uses the "instant on" function on a car ahead of you, then itll set your detector off and hopefully give you time to slow your speed before he gets you. All the good detectors today are really sensitive. ive picked cops up well beyond a mile (line of sight) before.
And actually most police i see are actually driving around with it on constantly, instead of using the instant on "POP mode".
So, its MY experience with years of driving both with and without, that they are definitely beneficial and well worth the money.
BTW-i use a Bel Vector 965 and 940
