Hello everyone, First I'd like to say that this website is very useful and I'd like to Thank those who contribute to it. Anyways... I received my very first speeding ticket. In fact its the first time I've ever been pulled over! Driving for about 5+ years now and am a University student. Going North in Oro Medonte (sp?) while in left lane. 2 lane highway. Red sports car (Ford Probe) in front of me (about 10+ meters) going at a faster speed than I and a blue sedan (Honda Civic) to my right going about my speed or slightly slower (our cars overlapped one another). 9 45 pm or so, so it was very dark outside. This particular highway has very little in the ways of lighting. I was the one that eventually was pulled over, but I'm not complaining, it could have been anyone, and I'm no better than anyone else. Officer was professional and seemed very pleasant after he checked out my licence/registration, (before checking he seemed kinda upset...I took a little longer than I should have to pull over as I had become kinda nervous). He wished me a safe night and went on his way. Ticket was issued for 131 kmh in a 90 zone. $301 fine. Like everyone usually says...I wasn't going that fast...BUT I was probably going around 110 in the 90, so he was doing the right thing. Ticket was not reduced and during our conversation there was no admission of guilt. I asked for disclosure and I got it. I received officer's notes as well as radar manual. Whats next for me? I received a speedy trial date and got proper disclosure. My problem is really the fact that I don't have $300 to give! (Even $50 would hurt at this time!) Any advice? Thanks in advance, RiffRaff

Your confused. LIDAR can target only one vehicle at a time.....however, that time is under a second. IE: Veh 1 = 117km Veh 2 103km Veh 3 104km, can return to V1 119km...simply as fast as I could type that, could have those 4 readings.

If LIDAR can only target one vehicle, it must have been one of the three cars described in the initial post, if I can establish that there were no vehicles in-front/behind of our group.
