    Cop told him had he not stopped braking ... he wouldn't have got a locked speed reading.
    Interesting, wonder of any of our learned members of the secret society of speed enforcement will elaborate on device operation....

    Would make sense that it would have some kind of logic circuit to do multiple readings to eliminate false readings off stationary objects....

    I never got the brake as the big nose dive is a pure admission of guilt... I just roll off throttle on car and bike... wonder if that’s why I’ve evaded a few likely tickets???

    I was told the fraction of a second ... that the offending vehicle had to be at a constant speed for to get a lock on ... but old age and abuse of alcohol ... blah blah ... I've forgotten.

    I have got a few single flashes of the red and blues ... more times than I've received actual paperwork ... so all good for me (mostly) so far.
