RE: [DML] Inaccurate RADAR readings?

["Ed Garbade" <edgarbade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Couple of thoughts on this.

First, I have observed on two occasions where my Delorean was not detected 
until I was very close to the RADAR.  In both cases they were those roadside 
displays that say you are driving XX MPH and the speed limit is YY MPH.  One 
sign picked me up I'm guessing at about 30-40 yards out.  The second was at 
about 50-60 yards.  Of course this was not scinetific but it seems to apply.

Second, I learned that if someone is speeding within a group of cars and is 
a sports car then the speeder is obviously the driver of the sports car.  
Along these same lines I discovered (personally) if you are in the left lane 
and driving a sports car you are definately guilty.  The second situation 
happened to me in a merge situation (cars coming in from the right) and I 
was actually being passed when I got tagged (and I was driving under the 
speed limit).

Third, my aunt was ticketed because she was in the left lane and the officer 
admitted he could not determine who was speeding.  Since she was in the left 
lane she was guilty.  BTW, this woman never speeds she is one of those 
little old ladies that drives 5-10 MPH below the limit.

Guess the logic is to drive in right lane and stay behind a truck.
