[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, remember that police cars have calibrated and periodically certified speedometers for just this purpose. Ordinary car speedometers can be off by as much as 4%. They are also calibrated to the tires the car was sold with; replacement tires of a different size, or under/over-inflated tires also affect speedometer accuracy. In other words, even assuming your spouse was closely monitoring his speedometer, it may not reflect his true speed accurately; the police car's speedometer is presumptively going to be more accurate. And, common sense and experience is that most drivers don't monitor their speed very closely anyway, not in the same way as would an Officer specifically pacing a car suspected of speeding. Pay up, or go to court and ask for leniency. I wouldn't bother arguing that the actual speed was something less than the Officer observed. [/quote]
