Question

Very often you must have seen traffic police stopping motors who drive fast and fine them. Do they fine for average speed or instantaneous speed. Explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

For every road(highway ,street roads and city roads) there is a maximum speed limit,which you can see on sign boards at road sides.

If anyone crosses that maximum speed limit,then traffic police fines.

It depends on instantaneous speed of a vehicle.

Answer 2

Answer:

Normally, police officers stop them based on instantaneous speed, as the meters they use read it using instantaneous speed.

Explanation:

However, sometimes you might see signs saying speed limit enforced by radar. THOSE use average speed over the course of 1-2 mins, and then proceeds to snap a pic of your number plate which you might receive, to your horror, in your mailbox.
