    Default question about about a ticket...

    hey i was wondering was there a law that say the cop have to give you a calibiration check(sp) if you ask for one...

    i have a ticket on buford highway and i was in a camry going 50 behind a suv and he said that he clocked me at 53 in a 35...when i ask him for a calibiration check he said that he doest have to give me one...i want to know if there a law that stated that he have to if i ask for it.

    also is it true if anything under 14 mph will not be shown to the insurance company...LMk

    give u a calibration check? from what i understnd they dont check the calibration themselves, so they cant "give u one" u can request the last date of calibration, and hope its over the limit of when they needed to have it calibrated.

    Any ticket will show up on your insurance. 58 in a 55 on your DMV will still count as a speeding ticket for insurance purposes. It will not add any points to you license.

    yes, they have to give calibration checks if you request. there is a spot on the ticket for it. they have some type of tuning tool or something that does it in the car. 14 over will not be reported to DMV/insurance. Its not any points. I would just take the 59 mph and say "thanks, officer"

    the tuning tool u are talking about is several little rods that u tap against each other in front of the radar and the vibration will show a speed on the radar. each set of rods will show a certain speed as marked on the bag they are in

    they are tuning forks i have used them when i use to work on park ranger cars at goodyear. they are just like tuning forks for guitars.
