That 205 mph reading is easily achieved if the radar gun is on a vehicle headed in the other direction. 60 mph eastbound, 145 westbound

Just saying

They don’t work that way. They subtract the speed of the police vehicle from the speed captured. I know because they caught me in Ohio once, and he had my exact speed. I laughed & said I had no clue you could clock me coming at me. He laughed & explained how it works now.

The Haybusa motorcycle got it namesake from the peregrine falcon (200 mph dive!). Modern liter bikes make 200 hp so 200 mph is readily attainable speed these days.

You don't have a clue how mobile radar works.
