ive done this before, I saw the radar watch up a bit, and wanted to see how fast my car could accelerate.

they just shook their heads at me, but I was going pretty fast.

I got a letter in the mail couple weeks later saying I was going too fast ect ect and this is just a warning.

It makes you wonder though, I think you actually can get a ticket from these, because it shouldnt be any different then some random joe calling you in from his cell phone saying your driving recklessly, cops can come to your door and ticket you for that too.

I think you need quite a few phone calls on your plate before it's enough evidence that you're driving recklessly.

I remember they did this in a hilly area the "SPEED WATCH GROUP" or whatever they are called.

I was walking my dog and saw one of these vans with a elderly man sitting in the 25 degree heat with a volunteer jacket on. As I turn to keep walking up the road I heard an amazing engine note. It was obviously a BMW V10, as I turn my head the M6 was just a black streak as it tore past the sign at what I'd say was damn close to 140kmh, the sign didnt even display a speed. The guy just looked up and shook his head and went back to whatever he was doing.
