Re: Aveo + New Tires == speeding ticket
I don't want to do the GPS thing. Kind of pointless to have one if you're native to where you live. But I guess usefull if you're on a road trip.
The Aveo doesn't come with cruise control and I don't live on the flat plains of Kansas, so finding out if my guage is 5mph over or under my actual speed is gonna have a +/- variance equal to the inaccuracy in question.
Before I got non korean tires, it was consistently reading higher on the guage than I was going in the real world. About 5mph at 70, more like 3mph at 50-ish. Which is in question now that I have new tires. And got my first speeding ticket in over a decade. My first ticket wasn't as traumatic as I was going much faster just a few miles before I got my ticket for the speed I was doing at that time. This one was for going faster than I was going the entire trip.
Problem solved I guess. I now go 100 miles out of my way (round trip) to stay on the interstate. Takes just as long and is much nicer since I'm not slowing down to 35mph and speeding up to 60mph 180 times over 170 miles. Despite current gas prices, it's still cheaper than replacing brakes and tires and paying speeding tickets.
