borrow a gps and get an accurate speed reading. if its like mine its a percentage out and not a fixed amount.
(4kph out at 60 but 8 kph out at 100). mine reads over so I was wondering why everyone was trying to kill me when I behaved.
seen adjusters in ads but haven't bothered.

have you changed your sprocket sizes?
if you spedo cable runs off the sprocket, not the wheel, it will read wrong

if thats the case then u gotnothing for the speeding fine...
cos if u say u were doin 60 but ur speedo reads more that ur actual speed then u were doing "57" actually, now if the camera has booked u then either its wrong or u were mistaken...
and thats not to be offensive either adel... we all swear blind on things sometimes evern when we are wrong with no bad intentions at all...
