So, no matter what the speedo read. you'd have missed it because you were "bobble-heading" (that's what my younger brother calls it when he is looking around at scenery and stuff and not paying attention to the road) lolHey Folks :
I was admiring the scenery and did not notice that the 4-lane was no longer divided .... The limit went down to 55. I was legally speeding at that point ..
I also am not a speeder, but I assume my speedo reads a couple 2-4 mph low depending on speed (less at low speeds more at high speeds), so lets say it's a 55 zone. If I'm doing 59 on my speedo I don't worry about it, knowing I'm probably doing 57 or 58 (2-3 over the speed limit)
Now, if it read 65 on my speedo in a 55, I'd probably fret some, but realize I'm actually probably doing about 60-61 with speedo error and at 6 over, an LEO probably would not hassle me. At an actual 9 over, an LEO would probably light me up around here, but my speedo would have to be reading 68 or so in that 55 zone.
