AS RECKLESS DRIVING DEFENSE SPECIALISTS, WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RADAR AND LIDAR

MICROWAVE RADAR TECHNOLOGY

What is RADAR? It is an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging Technologies.  When a police officer operates RADAR, he is using a device that emits a continuous wave that is unmodulated , and it registers reflections or “echoes” from vehicles that are moving.  When a vehicle travels, reflections occur that are frequency shifted.  Faster cars have greater frequency shifts.

Moving RADAR is more involved than stationary RADAR. Generally, the frequency reflection of the  target is shifted by the relative speed of the target vehicle and the moving RADAR.  To determine the target vehicle’s relative speed,  you add the target vehicle’s and police officer’s vehicle’s speeds that are being operated in opposite directions on the roadway or when the target vehicle and patrol car are being operated in the same direction, you determine the difference between the speed of the target vehicle and speed of the police car.

PROBLEMS WITH RADAR

1. MOVING RADAR IN POLICE CAR SUDDENLY CHANGES SPEED
2. Radio Frequency Interference
3. Field disturbance Sensors
4. Mechanical Interference
5. Natural Interference
6. Unintentional Forms of Radiation
7. Operator Error
8. Multiple Vehicles in the RADAR Beam

LASER TECHNOLOGY

LASER is an an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.  LADAR’s, Laser Detection and Ranging, and LIDAR’s, Light Detection and Ranging, are different types of laser technology.  To measure the target range, the laser device transmits pulsed laser light.  Additionally, the laser device must be stationary.  A minimum of two pulses from the laser device must occur  with at least two range measurements to determine speed.  The change in target range equals the speed of the target vehicle.

PROBLEMS WITH LASER

1. Accuracy
2. Shooting the Laser through Glass
3. Target Acceleration or Deceleration
4. Conditions in the Atmosphere
5. Variations in Range
6. Operational Error

HOW TO CHALLENGE RADAR AND LASER RESULTS

1. Hire an experienced lawyer familiar with LASER and RADAR technology
2. Hire an expert witness
3. Vigorously cross examine the police officer

SPEED KILLS

As an experienced Chesapeake reckless driving lawyer who has handled countless reckless driving cases in Chesapeake, VA, Anthony Montagna, III knows that high speeds on the roadways while operating a vehicle lead to deaths and serious injuries.  We at Montagna’s  Reckless Driving Defense Law Firm would urge you to drive responsibly and not speed.   Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles provides startling statistics.

If you are unfortunately charged with reckless driving in Chesapeake, VA because of a high speed, please know that help is only a phone call away.  Anthony Montagna, III is ready to provide to you the help you need.

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a vehicle which is not under proper control or which has inadequate or improperly adjusted brakes on any highway in the Commonwealth.

III. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-854

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who, while driving a vehicle, overtakes and passes another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, on or approaching the crest of a grade or on or approaching a curve in the highway, where the driver’s view along the highway is obstructed, except where the overtaking vehicle is being operated on a highway having two or more designated lanes of roadway for each direction of travel or on a designated one-way roadway or highway.

 IV. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-855

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a vehicle when it is so loaded, or when there are in the front seat such number of persons, as to obstruct the view of the driver to the front or sides of the vehicle or to interfere with the driver’s control over the driving mechanism of the vehicle.

V. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-856

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who passes or attempts to pass two other vehicles abreast, moving in the same direction, except on highways having separate roadways of three or more lanes for each direction of travel, or on designated one-way streets or highways. This section shall not apply, however, to a motor vehicle passing two other vehicles when one or both of such other vehicles is a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or moped; nor shall this section apply to a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or moped passing two other vehicles.

VI. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-857

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives any motor vehicle so as to be abreast of another vehicle in a lane designed for one vehicle, or drives any motor vehicle so as to travel abreast of any other vehicle traveling in a lane designed for one vehicle. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit two two-wheeled motorcycles from traveling abreast while traveling in a lane designated for one vehicle. In addition, this section shall not apply to (i) any validly authorized parade, motorcade, or motorcycle escort; (ii) a motor vehicle traveling in the same lane of traffic as a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or moped; nor shall it apply to (iii) any vehicle when lawfully overtaking and passing one or more vehicles traveling in the same direction in a separate lane.

VII. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-858

A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who overtakes or passes any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction at any railroad grade crossing or at any intersection of highways unless such vehicles are being operated on a highway having two or more designated lanes of roadway for each direction of travel or unless such intersection is designated and marked as a passing zone or on a designated one-way street or highway, or while pedestrians are passing or about to pass in front of either of such vehicles, unless permitted so to do by a traffic light or law-enforcement officer.

VIII. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-859

A person driving a motor vehicle shall stop such vehicle when approaching, from any direction, any school bus which is stopped on any highway, private road or school driveway for the purpose of taking on or discharging children, the elderly, or mentally or physically handicapped persons, and shall remain stopped until all the persons are clear of the highway, private road or school driveway and the bus is put in motion; any person violating the foregoing is guilty of reckless driving. The driver of a vehicle, however, need not stop when approaching a school bus if the school bus is stopped on the other roadway of a divided highway, on an access road, or on a driveway when the other roadway, access road, or driveway is separated from the roadway on which he is driving by a physical barrier or an unpaved area. The driver of a vehicle also need not stop when approaching a school bus which is loading or discharging passengers from or onto property immediately adjacent to a school if the driver is directed by a law-enforcement officer or other duly authorized uniformed school crossing guard to pass the school bus. This section shall apply to school buses which are equipped with warning devices prescribed in § 46.2-1090 and are painted yellow with the words “School Bus” in black letters at least eight inches high on the front and rear thereof. Only school buses which are painted yellow and equipped with the required lettering and warning devices shall be identified as school buses.

The testimony of the school bus driver, the supervisor of school buses or a law-enforcement officer that the vehicle was yellow, conspicuously marked as a school bus, and equipped with warning devices as prescribed in § 46.2-1090 is prima facie evidence that the vehicle is a school bus.

IX. VA Code Ann. § 46.2-860
