Personally, I think pacing is more accurate than radar. There is a big bridge in Tampa that crosses over the bay. The highway patrol always uses pacing at night. They just drive behind the speeder and pop him at the mid-way point. Many drivers are just plain stupid on that bridge. I've been driving it late at night, cruising along at 75 or so (speed limit is 65, which frankly is too slow most of the times but there are others when you come over the apex of the bridge to find traffic stopped on the other side, so it's a compromise) and I'll have people flat out blow by me - clearly going 90+. How stupid can you be? Do that on a regular basis and you ARE going to get a ticket. 90 - 65 = 25 over the limit. That's a BIG ticket and a lot of points on your license. To go 90 mph?!? If you are going to speed, plop down $300 for a helmet and drive over the Sebring and they'll let you drive as fast as your heart desires. But paying that much to drive 90 mph seems retarded to me.
