Enterprise car hire - don't get a speeding fine

classy comment from a mod

Why thank you. Nice of you to mention it.

Are you saying you lost? That sounds well within the range of instrumentation errors or momentary lapse.

Probably it was something like 36 recorded, with 5 deducted to account for inaccuracies.

random tit bit I picked up from my last speed awareness course. Spedometers must not under state their speed as very illegal to the point a car with summer tyres on will over state its speed by about 3 miles per hour. On the off chance you might fit winter tyres which are slightly wider and the spedo would then report a more accurate figure.

Mine reads consistently 10% over (if you believe those roadside speedo things that smile when you're not speeding), whether I've got summer or winter tyres on. All eight tyres are 215/65 R16.

versus the sat nav at 30 mph its about 3 mph under. same with the led speed signs.

I do look down at you lot bumbling along your one-dimentional roads at such lamentable speeds. Up here the speed limit is 250 knots = 287 mph below 10,000 feet. Much more respectable..

Very nice.

But we Timelords look down at you lot bumbling along in three dimensions at such lamentable speeds. Up here,the speed limit is hundred million years per hour. And that's only between the five centuries BCE and the 57th CE.

And we're probably looked down by these fellers.



We don't know for sure. They won't deign to talk to us beyond "squeak".
