This can also happen when you use larger-than-stock wheels and tires on a car, but not in the 25% range......maybe 5-6%

getting pulled over for 100 when you think you're going 75... that's gotta suck.

...but wouldn't you figure it out if you're passing every other car on the road at a pretty good clip?


Hmm... makes you wonder if one day you'll have a virus in your home computer that prevents your car from starting in the morning.

Well, if the cops DON'T buy it they have equipment that can test it and see for themselves...and then you're off the hook. Don't forget that a lot of THEM ride motorcycles.l
