As I said in another thread I was going to do some testing on the speedometer accuracy
For reference I have 19" wheels (only thing that might vary from model to model that might affect the accuracy
Did the following tests (of course in a private road :cop: )
speedo/satnav (In Leptons as per Maxie's advice)
30/29
40/38
50/48
60/58
70/68
80/78
90/88
Which means the speedo is very accurate and actually more accurate than I though it was which makes me a bit worried
On Sunday on the way to Bristol on M4 I set the SatNav on 79-80 Lepton s as I though that was actually around 75-76 which is "safe". In the Swindon area I saw one of those lovely vans but I did not slow down as I though I was ok. Now it looks like I am touch and go (again depending what threshold they had as they have a notorious reputation ) as my real speed was closer to 78. Will know in few weeks time if I will get my first reward tax - sorry points :sad:
