Question:
It was dark with no road lighting on a 70mph road in Scotland and the police were standing outside their car pointing a hand held device at me. I think I may have been travelling at about 90ish ( I know it's stupid, shame on me!) but they didn't pull me over or chase me or anything. I thought these devices just registered your speed but couldn't take your registration number. I thought the police had to then pull you over to give you a ticket.
I'm thinking, how could they have seen my registration plate with my lights shining at them and at the speed I was doing? Does this device take my registration?
I know the mobile camera vans can get your registration number as these have more equipment in them, hence the need for a van.
This was only a hand held device though. Does anyone know if these devices are capable of this and if I should expect a letter in the post from the police?
(No lectures about me speeding please)
Thanks
Answers:
Secondly the device they probaby had was an ANPR hand held unit.ANPR being Automatic Number Plate Recognition.Police officers on motorbikes have these in their panniers.Sadly for you in this instance size really isn't that important! Expect a ticket.
What gear and under what circumstances should I drive my car?
yes, they will send you a letterwhat is the biggest tires you can put on a Dodge Ram 1500?
well yes why else would they of been out at night, he would of read your number plate as you drove away, but if your speeding the meeter he was holding will take a snap shot showing on it how fast it calculated you was going, it would have to for proof coz they could not do you on a police mans word alone, coz they could just say any car with just a driver in on there own was speeding.Are there opportunities for auto mechanics in the US Forest Service?
geez..what if someone else was driving your car and you got stuck with ticket.Any truck drivers here? How often are your containers filled all up all the way?
Expect the letter, and if it doesn't come consider it a bonus.More Questions & Answers ...
