All speedos under read by some degree, if you use a satnav you would have noticed that the speed displayed on the screen is different to the speed your car displays. At lower speeds eg 30mph minr is around 3mph out, at higher speeds it is around 6mph out. Of course, even a satnav isn't perfect, the only true way to measure speed is to measure distance/time while maintaining a certain speed according to your speedo.

I can't stop think od budgie smugglers after all this speedo talk, not pleasant.

What is an od budgie smuggler?

I have never had a budgie let alone had anything to do with smuggling one

So if they only under read then surely it would be if my speedometer says I am doing 70 then really I could be doing 65?


But the one next to me might say they are doing 65 so they might be doing 60 and certainly should NOT be taking over me.

Most over read, but it varies - old cars can be 10% over, more modern about 3mph, and newish cars can be spot on.
Self righteous pillocks like yourself could be showing 70 and chap behind lower as their speedo is more accurate.
Average 50mph stretches are the worst, lorries limited to lane 1 doing 45mph.

What have I not answered?

My disability (I am happy to say that I am disabled) is quite severe and I prefer to keep the nature of it private.


My blue badge is about to expire but I am sure it will be renewed.

A post you do not seem to want to answer.

Think I am going to look for it and link it for you ?

I don't want to know what your disability is. At least one is quite evident. And I couldn't care less whether you have a blue badge or not or what car you drive.
