“The posted speed limit was 65 with a 40 MPH zone approaching as the officer pulled over.”
“There you go again being hypothetical.”
How do you know that the posted speed limit on that section of highway, prior to the construction zone where we saw the 40mph sign in the video, was 65?
How do you know that the driver’s vehicle was doing 68mph?
That speed seems kinda funny for a response, doesn’t it?
Seems like the driver might have thought or seen the speed limit was 70 and so he told the officer 68.
What if the driver was really doing 80? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
The real question is “how would the officer know?” He never clocked him and was unable to tell him how fast he was going.
Not if the vehicle had a digital speedometer (usually this in addition to the analog one). You see the light and glance down, or you just retained the number from the last time you scanned the instrument panel. Or you have the cruise control set.
