oh man, sorry about your ticket but you have to admit even IF the speed limit was 55 you were still going 62....not much you can do about that.

I've been fortunate lately to not get tickets. I think everyone in the small town I live in just knows me by now.

 

62 in a 55 i would have gotten away with. Cops are supposed to allow you 8 over. i havent gotten a ticket in 7+ years... was going 84 in a 70 back then. (of course my speedo said i was going ~5, since it was broken)

 

cops are SUPPOSED to give you a ticket for 1mph over....I know...trust me!

 

I thought that they gave you leeway in a range of about 10% off from the posted speed, as that compensates for the accuracy of their radar and laser guns?

However, Matty is right - 1mph over is speeding. I once got pulled over for going 3mph over the speed limit, 28 in a 25. I was speeding, then I saw this white Astro van ahead of me. I thought it could be a cop....and it was. I slammed on the brakes, and tripped his radar at 28. I think he still pulled me over because he saw the car nosedive under braking, and knew better that I was speeding. He stuck his head into my car and with a stern voice and a straight face told me "The speed limit is not 28... it is not 27... it is 25". It was one of those moments when you don't know if you want to laugh or cry. Unreal.

 

some cops are just sticklers for speeders.

 

What the hell tipped you off that a white Astrovan was a cop!!!...I have never seen a cop driving an Astrovan !

 

that's wierd, a copy told my wife (back when she was in school) that they were supposed to give you 8, maybe times have changed?

and i have a friend who used to be a cop, he gave people 20mph over.

 

if they are going to give you 8mph over why not just bump the speed limit 8mph and hold everyone to it rther than have some secret code that no'one knows?

 

don't know, just quoting what they said... doesn't matter anyway. got the ticket, nothing can change that.

 

In my home town, the police used them for several years for the sole purpose of setting up speed traps. Weirder yet, I have seen a Dodge Ram truck with flashing red and blue lights, pulling someone over...

 

Does anyone know of a web site for the postert kit? I haven't seen that kit B4 and I have just recently heard about it...Sorry, didn't mean to thread jack but it looks like it had gooten off the topic. Thank You
