[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 548676, member: 6969"] How does the calibration of your speedometers stack up? For years I used to think they were accurate, and I might just creep up to an indicated 80 on the motorway if I was feeling lucky. But now we have GPS so readily available and roadside speed displays. That has been a revelation. When I got my new car this year, the first thing I did on a long journey with a passenger (so he could play with the phone to get the GPS speed) I worked out that when GPS says 70 my speedo was saying about 79. So 80 is where I now set the cruise control which should only just be above a real 70. If speedo's have been under reading on all the cars I have owned before I actually calibrated one, it is no wonder I have never had a speeding ticket. [/QUOTE]
