When my car satnav reads 70 my speedo reads 77 and my car is only 5 years oldThey can be 10% out on over read
On the flat the satnav will give the true speed
I am surprised to hear of a 5 year old car that reads that much over. Would be interested to know the make. My wife bought a brand new Mini Countryman in 2015 and it was only 1 mph over.
Have checked a few including my own and have found none to be more that 3 mph.

What a hypocrite.

You are way off the mark Jake; let me explain.
I’ve been reading for a few years now (mostly the old lorries forum because that’s my main interest) but never felt the urge to post. Then came a thread to which I wanted to reply, so I created an account and did so. Any information or suppositions (correct or otherwise) I have about anybody on here is gleaned purely from the interactions between yourselves that I have read.
There are some very experienced and knowledgeable people on here and some great characters with a great sense of humour. Unfortunately there are also those who wish to make mischief (make up your own mind which group you are in) and the former are being gradually driven away by the latter to the detriment of all.
There is no mask and there is no hypocrisy Jake, because I have nothing to hide. Joining up and starting to post has not been all that pleasant so far. It’s been a bit like walking into one of those flat-roofed pubs you get on council estates; the ones where you have to show your organ donor card when you first order a pint. You have to decide whether to hang about and see what happens or neck your beer in one and exit stage left.
Maybe things will change; if they don’t they’ll stay as they are.

Pay no heed Mr Devil. Time after time he’s proved himself to be the main ingredient in cabbage soup.

Yeah ok I will take your word for it for now. I don’t come on here to make mischief but this forum is a little different to most as you will find out. You are quite correct there a lot of knowledgeable posters but they tend to stay away from the local clowns.
New posters are rarely welcomed on here. Other forums though it’s a different story.

Not a campaign for election, mate?
I’d go for a pint with you, but you wouldn’t get my vote for anything, except yo be the person paying the bill maybe.
The bloke you’d like to go down the pub with would not be how I choose an accountant or a surgeon, so it wouldn’t be how I choose someone go regulate them.
