Wghat about this scenario that I've seen many times. Trucks fill the left lane at 50mph.
I fill the middle lane at 70mph.
Anyone wanting to overtake at 80 can use the right hand lane.
Then some clown comes along at 95mph flashing lights at the guy in the right hand lane because he isn't going fast enough!
It's time to put speed cameras on bridges and set the cameras at 75mph.
If your speedo is that inaccurate that you get booked then get it fixed.
there is nothing wrong with the speedo that reads 77 at 70. it was built that way. what do you propose i do about my one?
i cannot believe you dont understand this yet. at 77 on my speedo i am doing 70. on your speedo, for example, you are doing 70 but in actual fact may be doing as little as 63. in order to be doing 70 you would need to do around 77mph on your speedo. then we would both be travelling the same speed regardless of what the individual speedos say.
why is that difficult to understand?
you need to measure your speedo against GPS to get a fairly accurate measurement of how far out of calibration your speedo actually is. measuring it against a sign that has been set by a council moron is not going to be accurate.
