Reaction Time Test At Center Of Court Case
Davenport witnesses described a patrolman speed test used to assess Bartel's alleged highway speeding on Interstate 00. Patrolman Nelson timed car passage with a plane at 1800 to 2000 feet, using marks 660 feet apart and a stop watch to compute speed. Professor Mokle testified to possible judgment variations affecting calculations. The defense seeks to show the method’s unreliability, while Nelson’s reaction time varied by only .2 seconds. The judge reserved ruling on the test objections as Bartel claimed not faster than 75 mph in a case charged with speeding over 73 mph.
