WOW, you are really generous. Personally if I decide to go 10-15 over I fully understand and have no problem getting a ticket. I generally go about 5 over what traffic does to stay clear of cars. Not too fast, not too obvious. And no one has a chance to get confy and forget that I am there. :bye:

I'm generous because I'm not an Oregon State Trooper...... There FJR_Pig, does that help suck you into it??????

Just a little bit pregnant?

If you get inside the cruiser, you can learn a few things just by looking around. That's how I learned about VASCAR one night on U.S.2 in N.WI.
Recently, in W.TX (returning from Barber Vintage) I was invited into the cabin of a TX State Trooper's cruiser. While in there I looked up at the radar unit that displayed 88 (in a 70 zone). I also noticed his lap-top (which he used exclusively) and connected printer.
Luckily for me he said, "If I give you a warning, will you slow-'er-down?"
Hard to answer that one wrong.......

You'd be amazed at how many people continue their argument when given such a generous opportunity! I've been talked IN to writing more tickets than you can imagine. When someone doesn't get it, they just don't get it, so, they, well, get it

As Pony Fool said. The correct response is "I saw the vehicle moving at a high rate of speed, heard the tone on the radar verifying the excess speed and then looked at the radar to confirm my observations." That is the way the judge wanted to hear it.
And any officer could dial up any number on the screen and lock it in during the pursuit. After you turn on them, you just had to switch from moving mode to stationary, and lock it in as you reached the speed you wanted. Not that any officer I knew would do such a thing B)

Wow! Thanks for all of the interest and replies.
I think the officer's radar picked up the car that had passed me on the right.
When the officer turned the highway corner toward us the car mashed the brakes. So I think the officer must have seen me (running at low-mid 60's) closing on the now braking car as the fastest vehicle on the road.
From what I'm reading here the officer likely never saw the FZ1 closing behind me; I'll guess.
Again, thanks all for the input.
