   The semi thing is true. Also if there were 2 cars in the radar field, one   
    behind the other, the guns I used usually picked the faster no matter their   
    position so I didn't know which car I was reading. And yes I needed to be   
    at the edge of the road for a straight shot. Officers took several hours of   
    radar training before being radar qualified and all that was taken into   
    consideration. In a good spot (we called them fishing holes) I didn't need   
    to mess with the close or questionable ones anyway. In fishing holes I   
    often gave 20 or 25 over the posted limit before giving a citation. I never   
    messed with the close or questionable ones. First while I was writing one,   
    much better catches would be whizzing by. And second I hated going to court   
    and many close ones thought they wern't guilty and went to court. But the   
    way way over the limit ones knew they were guilty and just paid the   
    ticket...
