Did you know that your speedo is not very accurate. I have been past one of those speed reminder trailers and my speedo has said I'm doing 50KM but I'm actually doing 46KM according to the read out. :) |

For instance I know on the open road in my CRV I can do 108km/h (as shown on my speedo), because I have cross-checked it with a GPS - which is concurrently showing 101km/h... At least you are aware of the issue with your speedo and can take the appropriate action. |
