INACCURATE SPEEDOMETER
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2022 11:45 am
I have just had to attend a Speed Awareness Course for travelling at 24 mph in a 20 mph Restricted Area (in London)...
Most L/w owners will be aware that, quite apart from the speedo not being particularly accurate, the speedo needle tends to "wave around" a bit!
I don't want to be "done" again - next time, it would be a £100 Fine + Points - so need to have an accurate indication of the vehicle's speed.
The Trainer on the Speed Awareness Course suggested fitting a Satnav - it would need to be an HGV model, as my LR is 24 volt FFR. "Honest John" has suggested an "App".
I don't have a Smartphone, so I would be grateful for Members' views. Essentially, what I need is a very accurate Speed Indicator which is as easy to read as possible (and will operate from the 24 v Auxiliary Power Socket).
