caught by the fuzz

[Gtdog]

A GPS with a twelve channel paralell receiver will be about as accurate as you can get, dependant upon signal strength naturaly, running a comparison with a Garmin, Magellan and my Geonav 2, I read;

GPS Odometer
43 40
50 50
58 60
68 70
70 75
77 80

not realy definative, but not un-usual, most manufacturers rig odometers to -10%. Also it is legaly up to the driver to ensure that the odometer is reading correctly, as sadly ignorance is not a valid defence in a court of law.

I learnt this the hard way,many years ago on a hot scirocco my odometer read 80mph, i was busted for 93.2mph.

tested?

Hi, I remember being told that if you are stopped for speeding you can ask if the gun thingy has been tested that day. They are duty bound to tell you the truth and if it hasn't they can't charge you for speeding. The equipment is meant to be tested every day but most is just tested every week. I haven't put it in practice yet but as I have slightly more than 3 points I will grasp at straws!
