18 wheeler posed a worrying thought. You either have a V1 or you don't. I have never heard of a conditional V1 (ie, we'll stop except if it's a vehicle ahead when we'll rotate early).

I know the arguments between stopping and certainly hitting an obstacle (at a lower speed and decelerating). But to try a take off at anything below normal speeds is surely inviting disaster?
