Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over

Do I have a case to determine if the LIDAR officer never confirmed that the Trk he clocked was the Truck Cst Green pulled over ? doesnt there have to be some sort of affirmation from one officer to the other ?

Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over

Jsherk, regarding the fact that what is in his notes are not 100% accurate :

Constables notes say I didnt dispute the speed, which i guess is technically true, but he did say to me "from the look on your face you seem surprised at 28 over" which I acknowledged i was surprised.

Constables notes also say "He was hurrying to get to the customs ...

Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over

From googling Cosine, it would appear that the actual speed of the vehicle is faster than what appears on the LIDAR, so that would not be an argument in my favor.

Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over

Very helpful, thanks guys.

Regarding this point "Also, if the officer was using the Lidar from the top of an overpass, the speed indicated on the Lidar is actually less than the speed you were travelling at due to the cosine effect."

is there a place to get some specifics on this ?

Sgt with LIDAR was on top of the overpass, the constable was below, and in pursuit car.

Constables notes say I didnt dispute the speed, which ...

Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over

OK, I screwed up.

I was out of town on business and I missed the 15 days before the trial deadline for the Form 4F.

I have not yet received disclosure evidence, i am 12 days from Trial and heading away on business again a few times in the next 12 days.

So... What can I do now, ask for an Adjournment ? if so what exactly does that get me ...
