ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to aid motor vehicle operators who wish to contest speeding tickets that may have been unjustly issued is disclosed. The invention comprises an electronic interface within a motor vehicle that registers and records the last speed setting of the vehicle's cruise control system. Additional data such as the date, time activated, time deactivated, and the vehicle identification number (VIN) is also recorded. In the event of a suspected speeding violation, the driver would request the law enforcement officer to download this information into a hand held display device carried by the law enforcement officer. The hand held display device would print out two copies of the above information, one for the officer and one for the driver. In the event of a dispute, where the driver wishes to contest the speeding ticket, the print out would be admissible in court as evidence against speeding.
