Subject: Re: digital & analog speedo official measurements


So I have the same experience...
The Police stop me for the speed of 159 Km/h in the city of Montpellierr
in France.
I'm a little speed over the 50 limit. There is nobody on the
double-track line
I don't see if the digital tripmaster has a good accuracy because my
eyes were on the road.
For the penalty, I wait for receiving notice from court.
I think so I'm going to have my licence out for one month and a bill of
2000 FFr = 600 DM
I don't know if they take me the picture for this money.

Also, the accuracy of digital tripmaster and speedo analog depend on the
front tyre used.

Be careful everytime and have good trip - flash headlights
