I give a crap where he is. If he's behind me, slowing down would put him square on my ass, the last place I want him to be.
As a V1 competitor, the 8500 is not bad. It's range is decent, but the information it provides is incomplete, and I'd rather not waste time trying to guess what the detector is trying to tell me.
