it’s impossible for a radar gun to clock two engines at the same time. however, your husband will NEVER get that overturned in court.

especially in TX

it cant track both, but if the cop tracks one and the other is going the same speed it is safe to make an assumption

If you fight it in court, which it appears you want to head its only going to end up in one way.

Your husbands word against an officer of the court.

Sorry, but unfortunately situations like that happen.

The cop probably was lying. I got a ticket when i pulled up behind a car that was already getting ticketed. There was no way the two bike cops saw me since they were parked infront of the car they had stopped and didnt come around the car until i was a few feet away. Aparrently I was speeding.

Im sorry for yout husband’s recent ticket, it is never fun. (Trust me i got one for a failed inspection sticker two days ago) But you should go to court and fight it instead of just paying it off. Yes, riding side by side is illegal and you can get pulled over for it. Also going that much over you are lucky you didn’t get a worse ticket. I would still try to fight it though.

Don’t pay the ticket, show up in court and talk to the judge. Chances are the cop won’t show up for the hearing and the case would be dropped. 95% of the time the officer won’t show up. As for clocking 2 automobiles at the same time, thats impossable!

going 90??????????????????

You said it, They were going 90. The cop clocked them or one of them at 90, and my eyeballs could sure tell they were riding together and were both going about as fast.

They were going 90. They both got tickets.

The mistake? When your buddy gets pulled over, don’t stop! It’s one of the first rules for riding with anyone.

Been there.

Some of the answers posted on here make me question if you even know what you are talking about. From a distance, two vehicles can look as though they are next to each other, even if they aren’t. Radar does not use a laser to measure speed. Radar sends out a radio wave that picks up motion. It measures the speed of the object based on how long it takes the signal to return. And a radar can be used to determine the fastest speed between two objects. Example….I have a Monte Carlo and a Camaro coming at me. Monte is doing 55 and Cam is doing 90. By hitting the fast button, I can display the two different speeds at the same time. If I have two objects of the same size and only one speed displayed, it’s safe to assume that both vehicles are likely going the same speed. And if one vehicle does not appear to be pulling away from the other, you can assume they are going the same speed.

Laser is another thing entirely. It uses a beam of light that reflects off the vehicle and is bounced back to the instrument. If I have a clear line of sight, I can give you the individual speed of 10 or more cars in a row. Both radar and laser can monitor speed of vehicles coming towards you and going away from you.

And it’s not bull that it was for safety. You cannot predict what might venture out onto the road in front of you. Just this morning we had a motorcyclist crash into a deer on a heavily travelled major U.S. highway. Now picture if your husband or his friend had done that at 90mph. Odds are, you would have two funerals to attend. Because whoever was in the lead would hit the deer and the person riding behind would run into them.
