If they were the fastest car on the road prior to the warning, there's a damn good chance they were right. I'm pretty sure my old V1 saved me in just such a situation, twice -- Florida (or maybe Georgia, was near the border) cops running two speed traps near but out of sight of each other. I was flying along in the left lane, slowed for the first at the warning, just speeding back up when I got another warning (in front of me) and slowed again. |
