Ask a Police Officer Thread Ver. 2
#451
From what I've seen, most cars are usually pretty quick to get close to their top speed, it's just those last 5 to 10mph that take forever.
You can't imagine how tempted I am to do that sometimes. Just the thought of getting caught, or even worse, hitting something at that speed makes me cringe.

I have 2 quick questions:
1. I own/use a GPS, and on it it tells my speed (as well as other info). Can an officer say "let me see your GPS" and "prove" that I was going above posted speed? I noticed this the other day because I passes a long line of trucks when nearing an exit ramp, and my max speed on the GPS said 86.1 mph. So I'm definately speeding in a 65mph zone.
2. I drifted across the striped white line on a highway once and bumped into a car. hardly any damage and I admited to the other driver I was at fault and I would handle all damages. Along comes an officer (who was not there during the accident) and he proceeds to give me a ticket for unsafe lane change. I'm wondering if I didn't admit fault, would/could he have still issued the ticket? I only admitted guild because I didn't want the other driver to freak out and panic about being in an accident.

1. Can your gps record your max speed or show how fast you were traveling at x location?
2. Never admit fault, says so right on my state farm insurance card "Do no admit fault. Do not discuss the accident with anyone except State Farm or the police."
