Cheap Radar Detectors Online

Posts Tagged ‘traffic’

At a light, my radar detector shows full x band. It only happens at this one light where there are cameras. I am not sure what they monitor, i think just the traffic to witness acidents. My friends valentine does the same thing. My detector is a beltronics. I am not sure why it does this and was wonderig if anyone knows/or has expereanced the same problem.

Let’s start with how I got the ticket. It’s a 77 mph in a 40 mph zone. Before you call me ignorant- It went from a 65 to a 40 on a major highway in NH. Also, if you call it reckless driving- the only thing I found OFFICIALLY on the state website was that if the speed is 26+ over you must show in court.

So basically it was a speed trap, and I was hungover early in the morning and not paying attention, going with the flow of traffic when a state policeman walks out into the middle of the highway and flags me down. &%@%~!

Okay, here’s where I stand. I’ve gotten two tickets before, I’m 19. I got probation for my first, then I accidentally voided my probation by getting another ticket, so I got double punishment 20+45 days w/o a license.(this happened over a year ago) Since then I’ve been good, until 2 days ago when I got this. The trooper saw this history and told me to "add it to my record" and walked off, before I could explain my situation to him.

What I’ve learned: NH state police don’t have to worry about not getting paid for court dates, so the trooper is gonna be there. He might ask me what Im going to plea so he can use it against me. It might be "reckless driving". 26mph+ is at least 0 charge. I don’t want a lawyer, but I should have one? I do work with a state trooper as a coach at my DMV, I should go talk to him about it.

So here’s my defense. Also if you have any advice like what to do on the court date (Dec 29, right after Christmas) let me know thanks. This is a rough draft

Defense

First off I would like to thank everyone present for their time they’ve taken to be here.

I am still not familiar with the route I was traveling on given the day I was stopped and summoned on my way to work. In the area where I was stopped the speed limit changes
from 65mph to 40 mph. Before the time of the stop I let off the throttle, decelerating and applied the brake, and was not given sufficient time to decelerate
down to the posted speed limit before the respectful officer signaled me to pull over. Things that attribute to my misunderstanding of the speed limit are
the aspect ratio, or height of the sidewalls of my
tires on my car is 10 millimeters smaller, offsetting my actual speed I recognize on my speedometer. The officer was scanning from
not a fixed position, but using two hands standing near his cruiser. Given my experience in Criminal Justice
as a college student and as a past intern with Pembroke Police, I know that a generic laser radar dector is not
accurate if presented towards an object at an angle beyond a mere eleven degrees. The officer was also standing
facing towards a large bend in the road, scanning my vehicle in the bend next to Exit one on Route 89 East, making my car also traveling at an angle.

I am a criminal justice student at NHTI, past intern with Pembroke Police Department, and work for the Department of Motor Vehicles in
the basic motorcycle rider training program. I need my license for my education, without it I be forced to withdraw from the school.
I am a Motorycle Training Instructor for the state, ID# 134405 I have been with the program for 4 years. As an
instructor my job requires I maintain an active, valid motorcycle and drivers license. I need my license
not only to get myself to school everyday, but I also need it for my two jobs I am maintaining, while in school, in order to
buy a motorcycle for my job as an instructor because I, like many college students, am struggling to get by financially. I attempted to explain my situation,
the same one I’ve presented here, to the officer but he interupted me and told me to "add this one to my collection". I do not have a criminal record.
If there are any additional or different weights that can be added in the abscence of a license suspension I
would be greatfully interested and estatically grateful for, thank you.

A couple of motorcycle cops sit at a Lowe’s parking entrance and run radar down a long stretch of service road that dumps into town (city limits)
Then, the cops step out in front of the speeder and tell them to pull over!

I did not get pulled over but was amazed the police would literally take that chance to step out into traffic.

So, if the cop turns into a speed bump, who is at fault?

You are a highway patrol officer,seated on a motorcycle, on a curvy section of Highway 1. The posted speed limit is 45 mile per hour on this stretch of highway. You are monitoring traffic with a radar gun. The first exit is 3.6 miles up the road. Your radar picks up a speeding car averaging 68 mph. When you try to start your motorcycle to follow the car, it won’t be able to catch the speeding car before it can turn off the highway. Finally, your motorcycle starts and you begin your pursuit 30 seconds after the speeding car has passed you on the roadside.

How fast do you need to go to catch up to speeding car? What is your average speed in pursuit?.

Thanks.

and then walk out in the middle of the road in on coming traffic and stoping you by walking in front of your car and tell you to pull in to the place he is parked….

please leave a "qoute" proving your answer or a "url"

The violation code is 22349(a), I was driving 76 at most, but I was marked for what looks like 80 or 85. I was probably speeding up to change lanes and the traffic was very very light on a sunny day. The writing on the ticket is pretty bad and I can’t tell if the motorcycle cop used a radar or laser. The "Radar Unit" box is not marked. I have a clean driving record for my entire life (all 5 years I had my license), should i fight my case? If yes, how can I prove my case in court?

sitting on his bike facing traffic pointing a radar gun at opposing traffic. He was stopped facing the opposite way on the enter side of an entrance to a business. Is this legal?? Isn’t that considered a private property?

(question continued)

When you try to start your motorcylce to follow the car, it won’t start.

How fast do you need to go to catch up the speeding car? What is your average speed in pursuit? Illustrate the speed of the speeding care as well as your own motorcycle during this pursuit (if you can).

OK, I was pulled over at 8:00 AM a couple of weeks ago by a motorcycle cop and got a ticket for speeding on Moulton Pkwy in Aliso Viejo, CA.

I see there is always 2 motorcycle cops parked with their radar guns pointing at the traffic coming from the opposite direction I drive to, so I am careful and never had a problem in the 2 yrs I’ve lived there, until the day I got pulled over.

I was driving on Moulton Pkwy towards La Paz and I see 2 motorcycle cops driving their bikes, but they were not behind me, they were coming from the opposite side of the road. Also, it was not like they were parked and waiting for someone to be pulled over, they were not even holding their radar guns at me, they just doing that, driving their bikes on the opposite side (which is separatedby a boulevard).

I was totally shocked when I saw one of the motorcycle cops make a U turn to turn around to come after me to pull me over for SPEEDING?? The cop seemed to be in a very good mood, he was just laughing the whole time… I even had to ask him "officer, could you please tell me what I did wrong?" Of corse, his answer was "you were speeding"…he gave me the ticket and left.

When I read the ticket, I see he wrote down the radar’s Serial Number, WTF?? He was not pointing a freaking radar gun at me! Do their bikes have built-in radar guns?? What are my chances of winning in court?

he is in the far right lane in the shoulder and the traffic is highly conjested with semi trucks and cars all going 70-80 mph and he is in a car, not a motorcycle looking through a little peephole trying to catch a vehicle with probably 30-40 other cars coming his way
