Default Digital Speedo is Correct

I know for a fact that the digital speedo is in fact correct at normal speeds.
My town's police department spent my taxes on a radar gun with a display (all built ona trailor). It is to show passing vehicles how fats they are going of the speed limit. I drove by it the other day and noticed that the digital speedometer was the exact readout as the display on the radar gun. I was doing 38 so maybe at a faster speed it might have a slight error factored in.

Radar is not that accurate and spededos are not accurate at high speeds as the error is a percentage off (I am not sure if I am making any sense But what I mean is correct jsut not sure if it is comming out right... been a long day) but we will not know exactly how off it is for each individual car untill it is checked by GPS

Hey PAdam... did you rip that avatar off of the other forum? I forget which one, but there was a thread here with a link to it.

I saw that before... but not here.

No, I actually got it from a website called www.steakandcheese.com. I had to go to a differnet website that had a differnet program to resize animated gif files. It was originally way too big to use.
