See if you can get it reduced.suthdj wrote:Now I gotta pay a fine
My daughter was caught by Irving PD doing about 72 in a 60.
She wanted me to help, but I felt this was a "teachable moment".
Told her to go to contact the DA's office and see about getting it reduced.
DA reduced to "exceeding a safe speed"...ticket and fine were both reduced and no impact to insurance. Might be worth a try.
Glad to hear the CHL was a non-event.
Edit: Reread the OP......>1000 feet? I thought I heard it had to be within 1000 feet to be acceptable in court. I know lidar is advertised as able to reach out farther, but at 1000 feet the beam is pretty wide; wide enough to make hitting a single car in traffic somewhat difficult given the need to hold it very steady to prevent sweeping the target.
