uh what kind of evidence is a blank gun? sorry they can't give you a ticket with no reading to back it up...and an officers estimation of speed is done through the method of "pacing", which they have to be following you to do. It's one or the other...if a cop is following you yeah you should probably slow down.

Not that I disagree with your basic point of just driving safely - you're right. However, if I'm driving on an empty straight stretch of road in a car that's capable of going really fast - I want to be able to do so!
