As far as I know, in the UK it is a given that your speedo can be 5% out and the police camera can be 5% out thus you can typically get away with 10% over the speed limit.

Over here, they can fine you for doing 102 kmh in a 100 limit. You are very welcome to contest the accuracy of your speedo and/or the police camera in Court. Smart eh!

I personally know how to outsmart the police and their sneaky revenue raising hidden camera tactics - I stick to the speed limit!

That makes me smarter!

I've just spotted a gap in the market for side-car-cars ... coming soon to a Supercheap near you ...

When I'm using TomTom, once I am going faster than 60, the speedo on the car is different from the speed shown on tomtom. Would tomx2 be more correct than the car? It's what I assume anyway.

I have been lucky so far....apart from yesterday, got flashed by a camera for the first time in a year in OZ...

What will happen now? how many points will i get? and how much will the fine be?

I was doing 75km in a 70km area.

TomTom? I still navigate by the stars ... it's got me into some awful scrapes I can tell you (like the time I followed that comet, how we laughed) ... and I tend to be a nocturnal creature.

Gut feeling? I'd say GPS + more technology than the shuttle = more accurate than speedo. BUT is it straight line speed averaged over a period of time? These questions need to be answered ... or not :p

I (currently) have 3 points on my UK driving licence.

Does anybody know if these will be transferred to my Australian dirving licence when we move, or do I get to start with a clean slate?

Cheers
