SUPPOSEDLY there isn't a lot of error. but I hear ya. I normally don't like to be anything besides respectful. if you want any chance of a plea, you'll be cool with him/her. I even have my hands on the steering wheel when they approach, this is a sign of respect. so they don't think you're gonna pull any stunts with a weapon.

VASCAR was mainly used in the 1960 and 1970 because it was the ONLY way to time speed at the time.

As radar and laser technology increased the use of VASCAR has significantly decreased. Less than half of the states use it at all, and mostly just on open highways, not in city limits.

Most states won't use just a point to point speed estimate from the officer either(officer would need a "certified" stop watch and have to prove distances, etc). Too easy to beat in court, and a waste of the courts time these days. If VASCAR is used at all it is usually with a VASCAR timing device.

NOBODY in this thread has ever eluded to that idea that a radar detector/locator is a 100% effective method of avoiding a speeding ticket. It is however an extra tool in your tool belt to help you avoid one.

I agree and do the same thing. I even roll down the windows on the driver's side if I can. Don't want them to feel threatened. But this azzclown was clearly full of ****.

That is disturbing. What was it telling you to do?

One thing about VASCAR, they often do it from a plane. I once was with a group of cars (not in my Jeep) doing about 120. I saw a plane paralleling the hwy just above the treeline. For some reason I pulled over and waited about 2 minutes and then continued. All of the cars were pulled over by a wolf pack. My V1 has paid for itself at least 4 times over.

It was playing a recording, I thought I was on the LOST island!

And if I got busted by an airplane I'd be soooo pissed!

Few agencies use planes now due to cost.
