The best defense when [ I ] pull over people is to be honest. It's usually what you say that tips the scales. " I wasn't speeding" guess what.
Ive stopped people going ten over and they lied, they got a ticket. Ive stopped people going fifty over, tell the truth, and be on their way. Several varitables to consider though. The main one for me is the truth.
82 GT. Did you look at your speedo after you saw him? If you did you may have let out of it . 7 mph difference is nothing. Id say the radar and your speedo are atleast 2-3 mph off each other. Plus if you lifted.
Ive been in this buisness for many years and personally have never heard or wittnessed a officer adding any mph to a ticket. Although anything is possible. There are other ways to increase the amount of violations, seatbelt, lights, mufflers or what ever. It goes back to what you say, and how you say it, when your stopped.
