Just curious if anyone has gotten a speeding ticket in a Leaf yet. What speed were you going? What did the officer have to say about you speeding in an electric vehicle?

JimSouCal said:Ironically, tonight I got a ticket at 9:58PM in Santa Monica for having no front plate--I can't find the mount--took it off when I got the car, so better find it.... They can't keep ICE vehicles out of the parking spaces, but I digress... About $40 bucks but drops to $10 with a CHP sign off...
Parked. I was going to wait until I tinted the windows before mounting the plate, but on it goes for sign off... Trivial, but still, just another thing.mxp said:Were you parked and had the ticket or were you pulled over by an officer in a patrol car?
JimSouCal said:By the way, just exceed the posted limit by more than 5 MPH on PCH from Santa Monica to County Line, and your chances are pretty good to get LIDAR or RADAR clocked.

LEAFfan said:Yeah, I forgot to mention that here, our elementary school zones are 15mph with high schools at 35, and they supposedly can give you a ticket for one over (zero tolerance), but I've heard that even if those radar units are calibrated, they have a +/-1mph so go 2 over and you will be ticketed. Here, the fines are doubled in school zones. Outside of school zones, +9 is safe.

I was going down Washington Blvd. east at a good clip out of Culver City. Next to me (turns out) was an unmarked car, probably undercover officer in plain clothes, in a silver car. He got on the loud speaker and said "speed limit is 35". Oops! I quickly slowed down and gave me a thank you nod which he acknowledged. So....I guess I dodged one! I AM guilty for sure of zipping around. Very easy to do.

adric22 said:The hardest part of my walk was crossing the street in front of the school because the school zone just created a traffic jam and there was no gap in the traffic to dart across. In my opinion, it made things more dangerous for me than if the cars were driving normal speeds.
LEAFfan said:You didn't have crosswalks? Pedestrians always have the right-of-way in crosswalks when there is no light. Here, there are crosswalks at every school so that is no problem at all. I'm surprised you didn't have crosswalks.
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation has found that pedestrian accidents are significantly reduced at unmarked crosswalks located at non-street intersections. Pedestrian safety can be improved at unmarked crosswalks because:
-Marked crosswalks give pedestrians a false sense of security
-Motorists disregard marked crosswalks where pedestrian volume is light
