honestly, this number of 90MPH is bullshit. the reason being that he accelerated from a dead stop to try to catch you. hell, i may put up a chart of the math showing how far off that number really can be. ive had a cop say he had to go 75+ to catch up to me and i was quite sure i wasnt even 10 over the 40MPH limit. if you really want to know the speed of your car, you have to know the distance and amount of time it took to catch up to your car. i got a ticket for that bullshit but fighting it requires a lawyer and lots of money... yes, bullshit. a cop pulled this shit on my sister and $800 later the ticket was defeated. she was pissed off and understood my feelings of the cops fine upstanding work to catch criminals... wait, speeding isnt a crime (unless wreckless blah blah blah).
to avoid tickets i use cruise control, it works well. also to avoid bogus claims about speeding, ive installed a device that records basically all the info about the state of your car. there is a little jack (by the pedals) you can plug a diagnostic adapter tool for your computer, then you just need to record info to a file. (or in my case, a custom board that burns to EPROM (write once only memory))
