Thread: Fritter-Tuesday

    Default Fritter-Tuesday

    For those that tried to make it out on Tuesday I apologize. My rule is that when too many things start going wrong then I pull the plug.

    Besides I couldn't secure a laser and the radar that I was using was not effective or fair. I could not determine the violator, had there been one, without guessing. And if I'm not 100% sure then I'm not going to cite.

    That being said the average speed was 54 and the fastest that I could capture was 61. This was on Ed Bluestein where the speed limit is 55.

    So I went and had a cheese burger and went home.

    See you next time.

    Why was the radar not effective?

    Hey Bro... now I don't feel so bad about not making it. Heck, I could have loaned you a lidar or better radar, lol. But I'm still stuck in Floridia buying the new car. You're going to like it!

    Looking forward to the next time! Keep in touch, and I'll see you soon.

    Mutiple targets packed close together. If I see a vehicle that I determine is going faster then the rest the radar can't single it out without picking up the cars around it. I have a hard and fast rule that I took from my football officiating days. Unless I can be 100% sure of what I saw the flag stays in the pocket. Same for traffic enforcement. If I can't verify the speed because I can't single out the violator then I do not cite. It's not fair.

    Plus, like I said, everyone was behaving.
