hi, its just aload of crap, they cant tell if you where speeding, maybe if u where doing EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE speed over the limit e.g 120 in a 25 k zone........ unless they actually had a speed camera,/lazer gun , and caught u out with that then you got nothing to worry about. what about if the wittnesses are lying or inaccurate in their guess?
think about it, it alway seems the one in the wrong always says, he was speeding...... but can they prove it? mark k ssage ----- From: "Greg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 10:02 PM Subject: RE: To FLY-16H CRASH!!! :( > Tell me, how can they tell you were speeding, even if you were.
