It looks like both the normal and digital speedometer stops at 220 while the GPS and rev counter continues 😄
 

........and ? 🤔

Exactly what's your point????🤔🤔

OMG one of those places...
Bye..

Cheerio old chap, don't slam the door on the way out 😂

well, that was weird.

Certainly was. All people were doing was asking the guy what point he was making or what his question was, and he's off in a huff!

Sorry, I've just posted things a lot of places lately, where it's always criticising and name calling instead of just enjoying and moving on if it's not your cup of tea.
I posted a video where the only comment was, "it's like what we see on instagram, why should I see it here" - like things on instagram just makes it self.

But of cause, if everybody in here already knew the speedometer stopped at 220 in a Fiesta, I apologise for showing it. 

Welcome back. 🙂

The speedometer stopping at 220 km/h won't worry most people on here and they won't be likely to have noticed it as most people here are from the UK and 220 km/h is roughly twice the speed limit on our motorways.

Well in Denmark where I live, I would go to prison, and my car would be confiscated! But In Germany it's perfectly normal 🙂
I didn't expect it to worry people, but it was just a funny observation.

They have better roads, and perhaps their driving skills have evolved to handle travelling faster than you do in Denmark.

I doubt it. Seems the slower Danes have safer roads and safer drivers.

Road deaths per person:

• Denmark: 26 deaths/million

• Germany: 34 deaths/million

 

Road deaths per (billion) miles travelled:

Denmark			3.9

Germany

4.2

So one extra death in 3,300 million miles.At an average of 33 mph to keep the numbers easy, one every ten million hours. Hardly significant. Factor in the traffic density and the difference is a statistical outlier. Now, getting back to the Speedo, your Vignale is heavier than my Titanium X and has a marginally larger Cd as I have fitted smaller wheels with narrower tyres but assuming that you have the 125 engine, you won't be able to go much faster than an indicated 200. Maths don't lie and I have done the full calculation elsewhere on this forum so Ford chose not to put a 400 kph Speedo in the car for this reason.

factor in density? really? The least dense road networks are the most dangerous and vice versa.

What school of statistics did you study at?

My point was a rebuttal of the evolved driving skills of people in Germany.

Danes are safer no matter what your spin on it is.

Having lived in Denmark,(I'm still pretty fluent in Dansk,) I can completely and confidently refute your assertion. Population and traffic density in Germany are much higher and a MUCH larger percentage of the population has access to a vehicle that they can drive. Numbers alone would make the statistics look worse but I had two cars written off by Danish drivers in eighteen months and saw countless more bad accidents - far more than I ever did in Britain. I used to do a regular run from Hamburg via Hannover to Munich and back. The driving standards were exemplary and as far as I know, they still are. Besides, most accidents happen in towns so the idea that less dense road networks are more dangerous doesn't hold water, really, does it?  The opportunities for collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian are much greater in built up areas.

Where accidents happen the most has no regard to how dangerous that accident is,

The most dangerous roads are rural roads.

The safest roads are motorways.
