Speedo Error

[jim.cox]

The nissan navara ute I drive for work reads 100 when actually doing 90

My old range rover reads 90 when doing 100

I think the speedo on the DR-Z reads a bit low - but haven't yet checked it against the GPS

And those Veglia guages are known a Vague Liar for a reason

Just a casual musing...
Mechanical speedos will probably become slower as they get older.

Like people.

(maybe they need a little lube...)

The 1150GS I had read 109 at a true 100. Despite what EJ thinks, the Chermans weren't always so precise.

My bandits are about the same - 109 on the clock is 100kph on the road

Suzuki are probably the most inaccurate - and also random. Sometimes I've been stopped by your former colleagues and ticketed for exactly what was on the clock - sometimes for about 10% less. I never know when it is just over - or some other random speed

How accurate are those digitial 'your speed' displays at the side of the road? One I go past daily shows I'm doing 50 when my speedo says 54.

Seems most of 'em are in 50kph areas eh? Reckon they're mostly within about 5kph but there's a few I've passed that have been miles out.

Not a great fan of the bigger ones like on the Petone overbridge heading north, fuckers flash on and off if you're even 1kph over, most distracting.

Also, what happened to the rule requiring speeds to be set no lower than 80% of the median unregulated speed. And more importantly what's the date and time of the unregulation thing?

I've always assumed it was manufacturers avoiding being sued for tickets or accidents.

I wonder how accurate those digital signs on a trailer are. There is one planted at the start of the town I live in. Records the cars within 4%. On the motorcycle it generally is just telling me to slow down....

Never seen one that read different to my GPS

There's a speed measuring van on Main North Rd Belfast most Saturday mornings.

I think the guy with it keeps forgetting to put the display up though. I've never seen the display.

All I've ever seen is a flashing thing pointing my way as I go past.

Depends on tyre choice and the pressures I'm running at. If I drop them down around 30 or high 20s, the speedo is bang on. Otherwise, regular road tyres at regular pressure, the BMW is 4-6kph out at 100kph, depending on the stage of wear.

Hornet is indicated 110kph for 100kph real.

On my R1200GSA, with my GPS reading 100km/h, the speedo read 105 km/h, and RC's laser read 99 km/h

You really are a miserable little cunt aren't you? This post says more about you ironically. As usual, you have nothing to offer but mean little snipes and negative contradiction. What a fucken sad little troll you are robyn.
