Re: Affects of tire size?

While not 100% accurate, most GPS units give real time speed information. Many highways also have mile (or kilometer) markers, so you could time yourself between markers and see if it matches your indicated speed.

Would GPS units be a better measurement of your speed, than your cars speedometer?
The instant answer is no, due to data ...

Re: Operating Procedure for Bee III Radar

Just for clarity, all radar is "supposed" to be used for is to confirm what the officer has witnessed. In other words, the officer witnessed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed, estimates it, then pulls the radar trigger to confirm the visual..... BTW, radar does not have sighting scope.... as for testing, the self check of the internal ...

Any exit from a private property is to be considered a yield... nothing more.

Private property does not qualify as a highway/roadway under the HTA, which enables an officer to charge you.

I don't even think they would use a stopwatch when a Genesis II Select Directional radar unit has the capability of measuring speed over distance built into it. All they need in the aircraft is the remote and the display box. Set the proper distance between the marks on the highway and simply start and stop when a motor vehicle hits two of the ...

This is very serious and you should seek council, lawyer or paralegal.

They may be able to get the total lowered for you, or depending on circumstances, get 1 or more of the charges dismissed.
