I know because I set my CC to 66mph in a 60 mph zone but still got pulled over because I wasn’t paying attention and entered a section that was 45 mph.

Whoops! Anyway, cop said I was going 66!

Therefore my speedometer is accurate!

That seems like an expensive method to verify speedometer accuracy. I usually just use Waze to confirm speed. ;)

Tough way to find out but easy to miss those speed zone changes if your zoning.

I used my tuner to set my speedometer to be in sync with Waze.

I recently found out they're supposed to do an engineering study to validate speed limits and with those stupid speed traps they typically don't do it. Lack of engineering study gets the ticket dismissed or reduced.
