Default Now this is possible, but is it accurate?

Unexpected meeting in Eagle Pass today and I left around 6:30pm from there. Was going around 90 to 90 mph with the Pilot with V1. Saw a car coming from like 3000 ft, that's the point he saw me and i saw him. After 3 secs, V1 gone crazy and I slammed on my brake. yall know what's the deal. He turned around, I pull aside. Questioned me where am i going, what i was doing in Eagle Pass. he didn't tell me how fast i was going, he just said i was speeding. Oh well, good thing is no ticket, just a warning.

Now this is possible that cop turn on the radar when he think you are speeding, but with short amount of time like that, is it accurate?? Based on my experience (yeah like 4 times), they all told me how fast I was going.

P.S. first time ever received a typed and printed warning, so i guess they have a printer in cop's car now?

You are so lucky. He didn't get a clock on you or else he would have written you a ticket. They can turn on the radar with auto-on and it is usually the most inaccurate which means it could report higher than what you are going. The cops have new systems where they can type in your plate or license number and it auto fills everything and they just print it out now.

well the radar reports a number, they are supposed to be accurate, the cop doesn't know how fast you are going, that is why he has radar.
