lol idk i think he's gonna go fight it....I doubt they would even give him a court date just null it when he sends it in...I really doubt he was lying it'd be wierd to make up something like this on his part.....

Could your friend have been "observed" by said officer perhaps, not quite obeying other rules of the road,( a little "improper acceleration" following too closely, improper lane changes ) and then he just got stopped a bit down the line? End result a ticket for 1 mph over the limit, and the officer "looking the other way" to other possible offenses?

Considering most automobiles ca have up to a 5% variation in acutal/displayed speed....this should be contested in court.....
I wonder how the Judge will feel about this waste of state resources.

I am raising the on this one. Even if he was having a competition of some sort trying to get a bunch of tickets, at any given time on any road, you can find someone going 15+ the posted limit.

And Bruce, to answer your question, 1-10MPH is $100 when you include the head trauma surcharge. It then goes up $10 for each MPH over that.

Jeff, isn't it written somewhere about a 5 mph buffer due to inaccuracies in speedometers and speed enforcement measures?

I would imagine this falls under the "unwritten rule" category.

There was one time I got pulled over by a cop at a intersection (for some newly installed stop sign). He pulled over at lease 5 cars one by one like that and giving them tickets. Five cars are on the side of the road.

I picked up my notepad, write down all their license plate numbers and made sure he saw me doing that.

He gave me a warning without saying anything.

I wonder why?

Bass

why do you think you got a warning?? because i honestly have no idea what you're trying to imply

you wrote other people's plate numbers down for what reason? class action suit and how do you know everyone else got a ticket?? maybe they got warnings too??

Sheesh...it makes me think about moving north. I could possibly get in trouble.

Probably because the first week or so of a newly installed stop sign they detail an officer to hand out written warnings at that location to improve awareness. Driving by and seeing 5 cars pulled over for a stop sign gets the word out fairly quick. Also, just because a sign is new does not make it any less legitimate. It takes almost an act of congress to get one erected in most cases.
