I've a question for our police officers..

[mothraisnotapokemon]

U do know when ur pulled over once they run ur license and plates ur whole record is pulled up. I think u should just learn ur lesson and go speed limit. Just cause its a fast car doesn't mean u gotta be an ass.

I am not sure about cars, but I know with motorcycles, the higher the speed you go (on the speedo) the more the error can be.

HMM Did I say if you are doing 1 MPH over by your speedometer, I agree that no speedometer is 100% accurate. Yours could show you are doing 50 but are actually doing 51, 52, 53 etc. The cop still is witin the law to write you a ticket. Just saying it is a speed LIMIT, the truth is if you break it you are subject to be ticketed. Having a speedometer that is off by a couple MPH is no excuse.. I got pulled over in the interstate back in 1977. my car showed I was doing 55 but I was doing 60.... It's just that the closer you keep it to showing your are at the speed limit the less likely you are to get a ticket.

I was mainly talking about those that intenionally speed doing 15 to 20 over and complain when they get pulled over...
