What is vascar and how does it work? null

It’s a speed measurement tactic generally used/measured from an elevated position (bridge/aircraft) to observe distance and time relationship. Officer starts a timer at known point and ends timer at “finish line” Calculation is made and observation is radioed to ground unit to issue citation. Not detectable in advance by any electronic device. This enforcement tactic is somewhat uncommon except for certain municipalities/provinces.

Vascar is not radar bottom line. Its guestimating your speed by picking a spot ahead timing by following behind you genrally how long it took then calculating your speed that way.

VASCAR is basically a stopwatch coupled electronically with a calculator. The calculator divides the distance the target vehicle travels (as recorded by the stopwatch) by the time it took to travel that distance.
