simion_levi Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 What i cant work out is how they accurately calculate your speed from inside a moving vehicle?????Anyone got an answer? Usual laser/radar mounted on the dash - computed against their own speed at the time, so the difference between shows your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimey Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Can they work out ur speed if there is a car between u and them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_d Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 If they are braking as the lazer leaves their car. it will give an innacurate reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John16v Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 when i got my exhaust done i was coming home, overtook a lorry at 90 to realise theres a cop car behind me, got into the middle lane and eased off, cop pulled in behind me and the got back in the fast lane and booted it, must have been to 100+ i nver heard anything of it. i thought the cops only need to follow u for half a mile to get ur speed therefore if u slow down before the half mile is up they only have what they saw and no evidence to prove it??
