Since we are on the subject of speeding I have been hearing people are challenging tickets in court with GPS logs from their cars. Of course that only works if youre not speeding and the officer makes a mistake. I would agree that any evidence you could provide showing your actual speed would exonerate you. My department now uses the GPS in our patrol cars to calculate our speed on internal affairs complaints. It is also reviewed in officer involved collisions and pursuits. So, when you tell your Sgt. "I think I was going about 60..." and he replies "GPS has you at 95", you don't have much of a leg to stand on.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) -bird |

I was so proud when I got a speeding ticket in my electric 914. Almost got out of it when he discovered it was electric...but 85 in a 65 was just too much! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I did give him a tip though that if he ever pulls over another electric car or hybrid, tell the driver to remove the key from the ignition...

TicketAssassin recommends that whenever you are pulled over you should pull the keys out and put them in plain sight, just to put the officer at ease. I did it once, and the cop came to the passenger side door, which I wasn't expecting, and then I couldn't roll the window down. So I felt like an idiot. |
