I certify traffic radar as part of my job. Every Kustom and Decatur radar out there rounds down to the nearest 1 mph. The circuit measuring the doppler effect is VERY accurate. And in Georgia, the unit itself has to be certified as accurate once a year. In nine years of certifying radars, I have never seen ONE of them inaccurate. I HAVE seen them come in with defects that cause them to have poor range, but have not seen one that is inaccurate.
Even so, a 1 mph ticket? Total bull ****.
That is fascinating, I had no Idea it was that accurate. I am always grateful for information from someone with hands on experience.
I guess I owe Doogie another apology. But he is not going to get it.
