My local council have put up speed awareness signs on various roads near me recently. I've noticed that the speed the sign says I'm doing is 2 mph higher than the speed displayed on the dashboard. I thought speedos aren't allowed to under read, and that at speeds lower than 30 mph tend to over read.
So is my speedo working correctly, or are the council signs calibrated to read high? (possibly to get drivers to slow down more) Maybe I should test with GPS app on phone? In which case, any recommendations?
