[QUOTE="NYCPilot, post: 693253, member: 727"] [color=black]First of all, it doesn't sound like he is anything close to a speed demon, especially at barley 11 mph over the limit. Its quite possible that the speedometer may be out of calibration or maybe he was passing someone and it required some acceleration. By the way, if you do have a maintenance bill from a mechanic attesting to the fact that it was inspected and found to have been out of calibration, you will have the ticket dismissed. If the kid has a clean record, and is generally a safe driver, he may learn a lesson by being let off with a warning. I'm sure many of us have been pulled over for one reason or another and were given a warning and no ticket by the officer. If he asked to search your vehicle, he probably used the barely over the limit speeding offense to check you out. He may have thought something was suspicious about your vehicle or the contents of it, even from far away. Those LASER and RADAR devices have telescopes connected to them that can view up to a mile way. The device is usually pointed at the front license plate since it is the flattest part of the vehicle. The unit requires a flat surface in order to return an accurate reading. What you may have seen on a lot of cars is a semi-curved translucent plastic plate over the license. This is something sold at a lot of auto part stores for the reason of disturbing the RADAR equipment so that it sends back an erroneous reading. There is a disclaimer on the packaging though, stating that “local laws must be complied with.” Technically, you’re not allowed to have anything that obstructs the view of your license plate, and you may receive a ticket for this. But a non-moving violation. This goes for those silly vanity plate frames too, dealer advertisements, naked woman, chain link or the one that broadcasts “I’m an FAA Licensed Pilot”. They are all technically illegal. Nothing is allowed to really be superimposed onto the plate as it usually obstructs the view of some details of the plate. [/color] [color=black]Where I'm from people on the highway regularly travel within a range between 10 MPH just over the speed limit. And I have seen plenty of troopers positioned along the highway without pulling people over for this. As a matter of fact, its been told to me by an officer that they don't normally bother anyone for being 10mph or so over the limit. That’s where I got that information the first place. [/color] [color=black]Also, speeding tickets are usually enforced to pump money into the local economy of a lot of small towns. [/color] [/QUOTE]
