All of us, in every vehicle we own (or have ever ridden in), can safely a=

FWIW, mine's off by 3.57% at 140, since I've had it checked with a GPS (t=

same as many) I was unhappy that it wasn't perfect.
Unfortunately the DD is close too, it wasn't a GPS that clocked me at 140=

the sirens were exciting. So for mine, 10% error is too high.
