clocked vs. radar

[ibeinboston]

What is the name of your state? Massachusetts

What is the difference between clocked and radar on a speeding ticket?
I got a ticket today; I was "supposedly" going 47 in a 30. The officer checked off NOT POSTED (meaning the speed limit was not posted), RADAR (?), and ESTIMATED (he estimated my speed?). Above RADAR it says CLOCKED, but it is not checked off. What's the difference between radar and clocked? If it says estimated, that means he can't even prove I was going that fast, right? There's no way I was going that fast if I was comming up on a long line of traffic anyway.
Thanks in advance.

While I can't hope to do more than guess what your state may refer to as "clocked" as opposed to "radar", I can answer what the estimate is. An officer trained in the use of radar is used to make a visual estimation of speed and then use the radar/lidar to confirm that estimation. The estimate box is probably for his visual estimate. Any radar confiormation would likely go in another spot.

I am guessing that "clocked" refers to pacing or maybe even a method of visual measurement and time sometimes done via Vascar.

So does that mean he estimated my speed, then used the radar to get my 47 mph? I just understood clocked: its just using distance, time and some math to figure out MPH. Do I have a chance at appealing this if estimated is checked off on the ticket?
