Double check your speedometer - Real Mum story on MoM

18 Comments

I couldn’t believe it! My husband came home a couple of weeks ago and showed me a speedily ticket he’d just received but swore on every thing he was not speeding. Not being there i thought he was just saying he wasn’t speeding and let it go. Then i yesterday i was on the free way when all of a sudden flashing lights. I pull over knowing my speedo had said 100kms and the officer booked me said i was doing 127!!!! Unreal and i was not. Any WYoming now i have to take my car some where and have the speedo checked and also go to court. Just a warning if you feel your speedo might be out get it checked!!

Bit of a shock to get a couple of speeding fines before you realise your speedo is out. Is there another way to know?

My speedo always runs under; maybe go and get your speedo checked.

Thanks for sharing; tyre pressure can make a difference to speed.

My speedo is incorrect, I am actually doing less that what it is saying. But as with the previous comment, wouldn’t you have noticed you were going a lot faster than others and passing them.

If you were going 127 wouldn’t you have been passing a lot of other cars?
