    As I stated in my earlier post, if the vehicle is manufactured before 07 the speedo can read slow. ADR says + or - 10%. This means it can read 10% slower than what you are doing.

    Vehicles after 07 can only have + 10%

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    no brown envelops everything 100% above board. cost me around 5 k but could have saved around 1-2k if I would have used the more progressive engineer in Orange from the start.

    unavoidable cost:

    lane change and break test $1600
    speedo correction between $350-500
    engineering fees between $500-$1500

    I think break testing is also correct.
