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.
