Calibration Certificate

[securespark]

I know that if I completed an EIC using a meter that had a date of December 2017 on it and no date of last calibration, it would not be acceptable.

So why do the police think it acceptable to back up their radar speed readings with such a cert?

Surely they can’t?

My CAT has to be indate and i’m audited on it.

I don't think that is correct. Who says?

If you could show you have tested it yourself regularly on known values and it had not changed, it is fine.

That must be the rules, I suppose.

Probably because no one has successfully challeneged it.

I think to find out, you'd have to challenge it in court.
Mrs Secure has filled in the form to say she was driving.
You should not be forced to self-incriminate, but that's another thread!!

I agree. You could just refuse to sign and tell them you'll go to court but at that point you're already fighting a losing battle.

They radar guns do have calibration certs that must be up to date or the ticket is invalid. I asked for said cert when I got collared, sadly for me, it was up to date

There are rules,called Speed Limits! Try sticking to them instead of trying to find stupid bloody loop holes about calibration certificates.

She might have been sticking to the limit. If the machine is out of calibration it could be wrong.

I've been flashed in a 40 doing 38 by those gatso type cameras. The equipment, like anything else in the world of electronics, doesn't always work as it should.

I think you're shouting at the wrong person again. Please pay attention.

They will be checked frequently.Allowed 10% leeway anyway.Should not be going so fast.

Swivel on it.
