Silver v. State Department of Motor Vehicles

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 19, 1985
108 A.D.2d 848 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

February 19, 1985


Determination confirmed and proceeding dismissed on the merits, with costs.

A review of the record clearly establishes by "clear and convincing evidence" (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 227), that petitioner violated Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1180 (d) by driving his vehicle at a speed of approximately 25 miles per hour above the permissible speed limit. The evidence consisted of a reading obtained from a tested radar device and the testimony of the arresting officer who estimated the speed of petitioner's vehicle without the use of the mechanical radar device. Clearly, this evidence was more than sufficient to sustain the speeding violation charge ( see, Matter of Graf v Foschio, 102 A.D.2d 891; Matter of Lovenheim v Foschio, 93 A.D.2d 986; People v Olsen, 22 N.Y.2d 230). Titone, J.P., Thompson, O'Connor and Eiber, JJ., concur.
