[QUOTE="Matthew W, post: 676492, member: 52693"] If she was going that fast to begin with, then why argue about 2-3 mph ? Tom; The speed limiters are set to function as part of the speedometer unit ... if the speedometer says you are going 98 and is the limiter is set at 98, it will stop there. If the speedometer is wrong and the vehicle is actually going 102, the speed limiter won't know that there is a discrepancy.[b][i] In other words, your car is wrong, not the officer.[/i][/b][i][/i] Radars and lasers are checked at the begining and the end of the shift, and usually at times during the shift ... checked, not calibrated. Calibration can only be done by a certified technician at the manufacturers factory. If there is an error during the checks, then the unit is not used. And as the saying goes within the Law Enforcement community ... 'if any doubt, don't write'. These units have taken also taken Judicial notice ... [/QUOTE]
