yeah they usually give you around 11 mph wiggle room unless your from out of state....
Tickets are payable now... in cash.

Speedometers are ONLY accurate at a stop. They'll typically read about 8% higher than road speed. Cars are the same(once you get up into the "upper ranges.")

My Zx12R reads 220MPH while the GPS reads 197MPH...of course that was when it was stock. It isn't stock anymore...
