The contention some people are making online (that Caltex to Calamba is 15k and the car was actually going 130 km/h) is absolutely ridiculous.

I've driven on that road for twenty years, and have GPS'd it... the distance is about 9 km. And the couple in the Volvo are in the right... the SLEX speed trap is wrong.

No, the gun isn't defective... but they're likely not using it correctly. Hand-aiming the gun without stabilizing it is bound to give erroneous readings. Even swinging it quickly to pick a target can give poor readings.

That's why the expressways should ditch speed traps. Base everything on time-distance measurement.
