Had mine tested at castle coombe by scrutineers, they mentioned how quiet it was, Standard Type R 82.woteva dB, so don't think 86 is that loud at all, even if its twice as loud as mine.

If theres another scoob near mine you can't hear mine at all, stealthy

So If two policemen are sitting at a t-junction waiting to turn out and you drive past them a bit quick, they can conclusively say you were speeding?

I am not talking about them following you for a set time, I mean you just driving past them when they were stationary - Which is the equivalent to saying "they must know how loud 86dB is"

What would they put on their statements? "ooh he was doing...say..about 45 i reckon" What if the other one says "nah more like 70".

It would get thrown out, and rightly so.

Yes, the court will (and often does) accept the opinion of 2 police officers that a vehicle was exceeding the speed limit.

It is because most of us here only experience the police in a negative way. ie....hiding behind bushes with a camera, checking the noise from exhausts, not responding to thefts, taking no interest in accidents etc.

I am sure most police officers do their jobs very well (investigasting murder, rape, mugging etc), but fortunately none of us have to experience that.

My own experience of the police is very very poor, infact i am disgusted that the officers i have had to deal with are still in a job with the way they conduct themselves, but i would hope i have just been unlucky, and that most of them are fine.
