I wonder if the Toyota speedometers are conservative, telling you
>you're going faster than you really are. I've seen a few SPEED LIMIT
>ENFORCED / YOUR SPEED = xx machines, and they seem to tell me I'm
>going slower than I think I'm going...
Speedo's always read low. Usually within 1 or 2 mph at low speeds
Let's see...Pickup truck? Hat? Speed inversely proportional to number of dogs in the car/truck? ;)
I think you're a wee bit older than I am, and have to say, if you're driving safely, you're to be commended!
My old 1978 Dodge van has a speedometer which reads in MPH and KPH.My
1983 Dodge van speedometer reads only in MPH. cuhulinThere are electronic bicycle speedometers available in the stores.I have one here, somewhere that I bought for about $10.00 at a Wal Mart store.I am not sure, but I think some motorcycles and motor scooters have electronic speedometers too. cuhulin

I was pulled over two seperate times before in Florida and given a warning for driving too slow. cuhulin
All the lead gone from the right foot, eh?
Depends upon what you're 'pedalling'...
How about the fastest cars of the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and so on? In 1906 at Ormond Beach, a Stanley Steamer set a record of about 127 MPH. cuhulin

She was coming around the mountain, doing 90 miles per hour, when the chain on her bicycle broke! cuhulin
All I remember is something about "Dixie" and "spokes"... ;)
