You would probably spend more on an attorney than the resulting ticket and added insurance costs.
The chances of getting a mis-calibrated radar today is probably very rare. I pointed this out because if the states start to use times through the toll booths to issue tickets, they must also insure that the systems are properly time-synced because there is always the guy who will hire an attorney to challenge it. While it is not important enough for me to research properly, I believe that at least in Ma. when Fast Lane was initiated, the legislature passed a law that would prevent it from being used this way. (However, they will ticket you if you go too fast through the toll booth). -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
