Default V1 still has issues with break lights and cruise control on new cars setting
off the laser. Called Valentine and there is nothing currently in the works to resolve it. Can you shut the Laser off. I honestly can't imagine it is going to protect you at all once it goes off your tagged fairly cut and dry. :-/

Default Mine does not with the horn, but my laser did go off the other day following...
...a high-end SUV that was probably equipped with adaptive cruise control.
