Re: Gas gauges and such

When I'm driving through average speed camera zones, I take into account my actual speed vs. the speedometer, the shortest route through the multi-lane road vs. the route I take, the error margin built into the system as a whole and the actual speed above the speed limit that they'd likely ticket you.

I reckon that you could drive at 65mph in a 50mph zone (according to your speedo, without changing lanes on bends) before you're likely to get a ticket. In reality I'd drive at 55-60mph without concern. It's the people that drive at 45mph in the outside lane that get me :)
