Ok I know that your GPS is already your best friend. It prevents you for being late at an important meeting by getting lost in the maze of the city streets. It helps you find your way around new places you have never been to before. But even if you know where you are going, and you don’t need your GPS to tell your where to go, it is always a good idea to leave it on.
Our streets are filled with cops aiming at your car with radars or laser guns to check your speed. These equipments are very fragile, and they need to be used in a certain way, and under certain conditions, in order to be accurate. Used the wrong way these equipments can be prone to “wild” errors. A study shows that more than 90% of people don’t contest their tickets. Even when they know they did nothing wrong. Just because they feel helpless against a police officer, and his radar.
Your GPS can help you challenge the system. You can extract your route log and your speed a the time at which you got the ticket from your GPS. This cannot be considered as a full proof, but it will help you a lot to make your case against an erroneous laser gun.
