I got pulled for speeding a couple of months ago by 2 cops with a hand held gun.
At the time it was all a haze as all I could think about was there goes my clean licence.
The citation was delivered today and they claim they caught me doing 54mph although at the time they definitely said 53mph (as that is in my statement) at a distance of 418 metres.
I don't have a problem with taking my punishment if I was stupid enough to do the crime but I don't agree with the speed I was doing for a few reasons:
I had literally come off a roundabout as I've shown in the picture and don't believe by the time I hadn't straightened up I was doing 54.
I initially thought when I was told they caught me at a distance of 418 metres this is when they locked onto me but the road goes down in a dip out of view from where the police were standing so they couldn't have been tracking me as round about that distance is when the road goes out of view. it must be out of their line of sight for for a distance of 200 -300 metres
Lastly there were cars in front of me granted a good distance in front but I seem to recall one of them turning right into a new housing estate I've marked blue in the picture which is out of view of the police. in fact now I think about it, I could have been clocked speeding at 418 metres but instead of driving straight to where the police were to be pulled over, I could easily have pulled into the new housing estate all out of view from them!!
I'm only asking in here as a conversation I was having with my old father in law totally unrelated about radar and how they tried to block it during the war, made me think about the Golf and its front radar. Could that in some way interfere with the signal from a radar gun?
