Admittedly, those places on our roads are few, but they are there.

Wow you don't have any idea about the statutes do you? It is an offense to cross any solid line on the highway period. Those lines are Statutory not Regulatory and the road crews are
told where to put them. That goes for the
old HTA and especially in the new TSA. And there is no srguing on a unsafe pass. What constitutes an unsafe pass is clearly out lined in the TSA. Do you really thing that a third party road maintenance company is in charge of Statuatory lines on a highway

As far as warning signs are concerned,there is a set of guidelines set forth by the government that the people using the photo radar are required to follow.

One guideline that they are required to follow,but they usually ignore is:
The quote is taken directly from the link above.After reading all of the the guidelines,it is very obvious ,that many photo radar tickets are in fact not issued in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the government.As such,those tickets are not legally issued tickets. |
And the number one rule about cosine angle is that when radar is stationary, or moving in a straight line, the cosine error always
decreases the speed measurement. That means it is in
your favor.
Man the old wive's tale are great.
