Re: max speed in ur car?
what's interesting is aerodynamics on a truck are better when the gate is up then down. It makes perfect sense after you know that air traveling over the truck starts a convection flow inside the truck bed. This flow of "trapped" air acts as a smooth roofline down to the end of the truck. Opening the gate will release the trapped air and create more handling problems.
So if you see someone with their gate open with nothing in their bed, tell 'em to shut it. |

i.e errors in the calibration of radar gun AND errors in the calibration of speedometers. hmm, perhaps that's where the 10% in what I was told comes from. .....and once again, a car related thread is started in possibly the wrong forum. moving.

Re: max speed in ur car?
one of the motorcycle forums i go to has a moderator who's also a cop. he says that he's told to give a buffer of 10 mph in any zone under 55mph and a 12-15 mph buffer for 55 + zones. but that's only relevant here in the states.

It really depends on the cop and how he's feeling that day. Maybe NY cops are told to give a buffer, but I got flagged by a cop n the burbs near chicago for 8 over, 53 in a 45. But that particular town is known for its petty police force

This does probably mean that it doesn't apply to the big yellow boxes though. on the subject of camera flashing. on the way home on the A12 last week, I was having a bit of a giggle with a bmw driver and was going mayb e 60-65mph. No big deal on a regular dual carriageway with a 50mph limit. Thing is, it was quite apparent that the other driver didn't know where the speed cameras were and at one instance, I saw the first flash of the camera as he went through the speed trap and I am positive that the second flash occured as I was in the speed trap. Wonder if I'll hear anything from them about that one?

Re: max speed in ur car?
If you're only in one shot, you should be fine. Maybe it wasn't even loaded. Apparently 2/3 aren't. Fingers crossed for you mate.

Re: max speed in ur car?
well, thing is, they need two clear shots to work out the speed.
if the camera was legit and the images gets processed, they'd get one shot of a BMW 3 in one shot and magically, a Yaris in the second shot.....

Re: max speed in ur car?
update: i went 112 in my accord today on my way back from university.
got pissed because these people changed their plans, originally we were supposed to go to Hull (just across the river from my city, about 15 minutes away) where the drinking age is 18 (its 18 in 3 out of 10 canadian provinces) but instead they decided they'd go to somewhere in ottawa (my city) but i don't have a fake ID so i couldn't go. i wasted 30 minutes to university, 30 minutes back, an hour i spent waiting around not being able to get ahold of anyone, and a shitload of gas. i could have gone faster but there was a turn coming up. i suspect my car tops out at 120mph.

Re: max speed in ur car?
i suspect that there are a lot of stories like this one here in this thread...
i did about 350 mile an hour one time and then right afterward i went to this huge party and banged like 80 chicks that were NFL cheerleaders and then i drove off a flatbed towtruck and got airborne like the dukes of hazard and came crashing down and didnt even have a scratch!!!! -translation... went 80 before car ran out of power, got drunk and probably hit on a bunch of fat chicks, then ran into the back of a flatbed truck as i left thier crappy apartment and totalled the car that was only worth 500 bucks anyways... |
