jcs95whufc Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi, Was driving round the country over the weekend and im starting to think I may of been done by a Speed camera. I think its just me over thinking. However.... Just a quick question, does anybody know if the Speedometer in the Focus Zetec S 14 plate or any ford for that matter gives an accurate reading? I have read online that most speedo's will say you are doing 70mph when in fact you are doing 64mph (10% + 1). Is this true? Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Speed cameras generally allow 10%. As of 2013 there is no + applied anymore. All speedos overead on purpose so that the manufacturer can't be held accountable if your speedo undereads and you end up suing them.

Stoney871 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Best way to check the speedo bias is compare it to a gps speed reading which is usually 99.9% accurate with a bit of lag. Best to read it when going a steady speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
