Darren T Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Do all fords speedo's under read or is it just the cheaper fords (ie the ka ) that under read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexxLizz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm always told by friends, speed warning signs and my sat nav that mine under-reads (KA). But how would you know for sure if it actually does?? This is something I've always been curious about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They may read + or - 3mph as standard But if you change wheel / tyre size then that can be exaggerated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren T Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think my speedo under reads by about 10%. So it's normal then.....That's a relief. Thanks again Preee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The official Police guideline is allowance of 10% of the limit but that guideline can be rescinded if the person is driving other than in accordance of the highway code and road safety regulations.

Preee Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Stoney , if i was driving at 120mph on the motorway would you still give me the 10% :P , or extra because i would be in a Ford :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Stoney , if i was driving at 120mph on the motorway would you still give me the 10% :P , or extra because i would be in a Ford :) 120 is not punished by a fixed penalty or endorsements, it would go straight to court with a recommendation for a instant disqual. 30% over the posted speed limit will result in this procedure i.e. 52 in a 40 zone, 39 in a 30. Traffic / weather / visibility and many other things are also taken into consideration so the % allowance is only a guideline too. What i don't see i can't act on. B) What car sarge?
