That's why the cops have resorted to methods that give them the upper hand,
ie.. Speed cameras. :)
Why chase a car doing 200 when you can just make a few happy snaps and get
'em later.. Can't argue with a photo, but I will stand by my argument that
nobody's analog speedo is anywhere near as accurate as a laser speed gun
thingy. But then we get into another discussion which has already been
raised here, but yes I agree with you.. If somebody passed me doing 200 and
I was a cop, then I'd probably just wave to them as they went past!
