Speedo reading low?!?

[George Selby]

Both of my German cars read fast, the Audi 80 is a little worse (more 
error) than the VW Jetta.

As a side note to the story, I was pulled by a local town officer on my way 
home.  I was going about 62 in a 55, and the margin of error in our state, 
NC, is 10 mph over (in other words, you won't get a ticket unless you are 
going at least 10 mph over the speed limit, or have pissed off the officer 
somehow.)  He told me I was going a little fast, and I said, "Well, I was 
going 62, was that too much over the speed limit." He explained that I was 
speeding.  I retorted  "yes, but we both know you aren't going to give me a 
ticket."  I then asked exactly how far I could go over the speed limit 
without getting pulled over.  He replied that the speed limit was 55.  I 
asked, "But how far over the speed limit can I go before you pull me 
over."  He started walking back to his car, and replied I should slow it 
down a little.  I didn't get a ticket.  I still drive the same 62-3 driving 
down that highway, which I have to do every night at around 2 am, the same 
time as the bars in our state close.
