(OT) Traffic Speed Detecting Signs

[FromTheRafters]

True enough. My point was that the counter wouldn't have to roll over just because of the limits of the display.

You can display Pi on a calculator and only get so many decimal places, yet you can then subtract 3.14159 from it and retrieve six more decimal places in many cases. The limits of the display does not necessarily limit the underlying calculation (or, in this case, the count).

Only by looking at the circuit or code used could I determine if the thing actually counts modulo 100 (0 through 99 and 'rolling over' dropping anything over 100) or just not displaying the most significant digit.

Here's the code that should be used:

Dim driver_spd as Single Dim road_spikes as Boolean 'Speed Check If driver_spd > 99 Then road_spikes = True

You couldn't have missed the point by any farther of a distance.

Brand new car, less than 3000 miles on it.

Do you really think it had a noisy muffler?

Do you really think the rental company wouldn't have questioned a noisy muffler violation on a brand new vehicle that clearly did not have a noisy muffler?

Do you really think I was going go though the hassle of trying to get them to cover it instead of just mailing the check to the municipality?

Good grief.

You were doing something so you were stopped. You were cut a break with the muffler.
