So...will you contest that ticket or all you're doing is bitch about it on /o/?
I call bullshit.
When the speedometer tells you you're going 60 you're actually closer to 55.
Speedos are different in every car. Since it's generally calculated off the transmission, and sometimes off the ABS sensors, it's basically always calculated off the rotation speed of the wheels. If your tires are newer, they're bigger than when they're worn, and the car travels farther for every rotation, so the car will be traveling faster in relation to the speedometer. Different brands of the same size tire will be a different size when measured, so as you can see, speedometers are almost never spot on.

Contest it. They were likely using faulty equipment, or were basing it on 'approximate speed'. They only calibrate radar guns like once a year.
>driving though wisconsin doing 80
>speedlimit 70
>cop next to me also doing 80
I love states that dont suck
>>14620893
Well if you're just going to tell the officer straight off that you were speeding, what do you expect? Can't admit guilt or its an instant ticket man, come on...
>>14622323
Yes, lets lie to the officer and make the ticket worse
>>14622324
Who said lie to the officer? Just make them state the speed they measured you going, and take that. Be friendly and cooperative but coy enough not to say 'oh I was prbly doing 65 in the 55 officer'
>>14622324
"Just cooperate and this can be easier for all of us."
Bootlicker logic. They only know what you tell them and they can only prove what they have on video
>>14620893
my dashcam has a speed sensor so its recorded on how mast im really going.

It sure is nice to live in a small town with only 3 cops. If you get the one nice cop he won't write you up as long as there's nobody else on the road
>>14622238
>flyover states
Should've asked for the radar records, otherwise take it to court
>>14622138
>If your tires are newer, they're bigger than when they're worn, and the car travels farther for every rotation, so the car will be traveling faster in relation to the speedometer.
Yeah but the difference in diameter is <1%. The effect that has on your speedometer is negligible.
This is why you should buy a radar detector
>>14620893
Has this happen a few months ago. You're just pretty much fucked OP. Did you have any sort of GPS or Google maps going? Dash cam?
Also, don't expect much sympathy from the salty NEETs on 4chan.
>Driving in South Florida on 95
>Speed limit is 65, going 85

>tfw I'm in the slow lane
Well, he had to speed up to 70 to catch you, so ...

I know, I got pinched by state troopers, they won't fuck with you at all under 85 and will usually let you off with a warning...except I was "boarderline" (cops words) intoxicated see>>14623809
>>14623809
.8 promilles is legal in Michigan?
That's like actual drunk driving.
Why even bother to have a limit?
>live in california
>blast by cop doing 105

god i love this state
>Live in Norway
>Doing 80km/h in the 80km/h area

>>14623901
How? I got clocked at 160 in a 65 and my license got suspended for 6 months plus a 400$ fine. Granted, the cop wrote 120 to lessen the consequences.
>>14626590
160?
Was this a motorcycle?
>>14623763
something similar happened to me
>driving down i70
>going like 80 or some shit
>police car behind me, flashes brights
>my heart skips a beat and I switch a lane
>cop speeds right past me
He was probably going 95 or something, saw him pulled over a few miles up scanning for speeding cars in the opposite direction
>>14626610
Lexus ls400 with an exhaust mod believe it or not. Pretty damn fast car.
>>14623776
I do 100+ on I294 daily. Just gotta know where they set their speedtraps up.

Speedometers always indicate that you're going 2-5mph faster than you're actually going.
