Lazer radar? how much time?
I thought I had a small amount of time from the time the warning went off before they could clock me? I use a high dollar Escort 8500 unit and have always avoided citations.
All that changed last weekend. I got nailed for 82 in a 60 (laser). I thought (erroneously) that I could hit the brakes fast enough to keep that lazer from registering........wrong, wrong, wrong. It's not a huge deal $230 for deferred adjudication (won't go on record). Seems like they just want the money without any effort on their part. No problem for me I guess if they don't record the infraction on my record.
Seems like a cheesey out for the city to just grab the money with no trial. Makes me want to hire a lawer to spank their asses even if it costs me more $$$ to do it.
OK, my bad, I guess I'll just have to stay at 70 in that 60 to avoid more of the same. 75 in a 10 lane divided still seems a lot more reasable to me.
No offense to Ryan or Mustang460 as I know they do not set policy.
