Speeding

[leb]

Hey all,

On my way to exam today and was pacing myself. I hit boost and weaved through some cars (SAFELY) to suddenly notice a cop pointing a radar at me. I don't know what speed I was doing, but i get the feeling I was a little bit over by the time he would have read my speed.

I wasn't pulled over or anything, does that mean I got away with it, or does it mean that I will get a ticket in the mail sometime soon?

Any past experiences or knowledge would be much appreciated so I don't have this cloud hanging over my head all weekend.

Kind Regards,

Joel

I had an unfortunate experience when i was travelling along a main road:

Came out of a long slip way and could see that traffic was coming so I thought may as well speed up a bit... was doing 75 or so as I came onto the main road and as I continued up traffic slowed - and then I noticed the fagman in blue holding something.

It was a 2 lane road - some traffic was told to keep on going, where as I was pulled over to the side and told that i'd been doing a substancial amount over the limit.

Fine was written out to me then and there...

Worst part was 3 demerit points:(

So there ya go.

You're safe.

if it was a hand held laser gun thingy, you're safe - they have to pull you over with those.

how exactly do you SAFELY weave through traffic?

Hey Joel

For legal (read: accuracy) reasons, they need to have a good radar/laser return on your car for three seconds. Perhaps whilst you were weaving through the traffic he couldn't zap you for long enough.

damn i got done like that. come out of a petrol station and was the FIRST time i was testing the boost controller and honestly not even 30-40meters it was 15 over

[thrtytwo]

as above, hand radars need to pull you over.

yeah,u gotta get pulled over,i was with friend that got pulled over,bad feeling.

Sometimes they don't bother if it's only a bit over but if it was a hand held they have to pull you.

Sometimes they have mounted in cars or on the side of the road that will take photos.. If it was on a tripod or mounted in dash then you'll usually see a flash.
