Re: speeding ticket.
moving radar (moving laser is in its infancy and takes 2 ppl to operate - one to drive the other to point the laser at stuff). yes it's accurate. if the officer is worth a damn he'll have all his calibration records ready at the court date. don't bother with that route. call the court and sweet talk one of the clerks into telling you how the judge feels about calibrations. down here if they're even 1 mph off ( in either direction fast or slow) he knocks it down to an equipment violation. he doens't believe in the driver's schools either. yours may be different. so- talk to the clerk or go watch court one morning before your date and see what other people get and how the judge reacts.

Re: speeding ticket.
You can spend $50-$75 to get a calibration read out + all the time in court. . . all for 12 over. I think that’s only 4 or 5 points on your driving record. OR you could spend $45 on an online driving improvement class (ie drivinguniversity.com). More than likely if you paid the $50 for your speedometer to be calibrated the judge would drop it for a improper equipment charge and you’d be spending another $50-100 in fines + $60 for court cost. So $200+ to get out of the ticket, or $60 prepay fine + $45 in driving school is still cheaper. Just don’t get any more speeding tickets.

Re: speeding ticket.
yeah teacher rambles and if it wasnt for here id be passed out on my laptop right now. and yeah the route i stated is an expensive way, BUT if for any reason he needs to have a clean driving record (i need one) then the way i suggested gives him a fighting chance to get out of it (depending on the judges in his area). Also because of my driving class i got out of 2 additional tickets and just got warnings. so it depends which way u wanna look at it.

Re: speeding ticket.
I'm talking about using a LASER as opposed to RADAR which you are referring to. one uses light, the other radio waves. you can't aim a laser at a vehicle and drive at the same time.

Re: speeding ticket.
Has anyone seen my car I have stock wheels. And there was only 1 cop in the car. My main question here was that I didn't know that it could still have a accurate reading when he's coming at me. Going about 50,and I'm coming towards him at about 50.
