This thing is GREAT! I bought one for a friend as a wedding present (hehe).
It seems to be fairly accurate. I think their WS says something like 95%,
which seems about right. Don't keep this in your car though. A:Someone will
steal it thinking it is a radar detector. B:You will get a LOT of tickets,
kind of the oposite of a radar detector (an attractor), as you spin away
from every stoplight trying to measure your acceleration numbers...

Well worth the money.
