They can write a ticket for following you anytime, but it will only stick if their speedo has been calibrated recently. I know a bunch of people that have gotten out of tickets through that loophole.

The speed estimation thing just irritates me. Only speeding ticket I ever got was an estimation ticket, he "estimated" me at 67 in a 60...it stuck in court due to being in a small town....
