Speeding ticket...caught by aircraft

[buellski]

Anyone ever caught this way?

Yep, years ago (mid-80s) on 101 heading into Manchester.

FWIW with the fiscal crisis that many states are facing they are not so easy to just give up on routine speeding tickets.

If the OP got caught in a normal roadside speeding trap that's one thing, but I wouldn't call using an aircraft a 'routine' speeding ticket. Seems like an excessive expense to enforce the law to me.

You can visually see where these traps are..

Don't the mark the pavement somehow and time you between the marks?

i open the sun roof and look up..

i open the sun roof and look up..

that means taking my eyes off the road and that wouldn't be very safe. i just slow down for the mile and then start speeding again.

So you never take your eyes off the road?

Anyone ever caught this way? Anyone know how accurate this is? How do i know it was really my car they spotted? Any suggestions on how to fight it?
