Since then i eather drive only alittle faster then the speedlimit,or i drive as fast as everyone else.with the occasional speedup to get infront.I dunno why,i just like to be ahead.
No, my speedometer was dead on, car was stock. Also, I can judge how fast I'm going, I usually don't even have to look down at the gauge cluster, just got unlucky and hit one of those cops out of that 10% range. ~Brian
