What should the reading be on the pump, to inflate the tyres to the right size.

this wouldn't have anything to do with your girlfriend and her speeding points thread would it?

Car speedometers can have a tolerance of 10%, however they cannot show that you are doing a lower speed than you really are doing. So they will generally err on the side of caution and the speedometer will show a higher speed. If you have a GPS SatNav in the car you'll see that the speed according to the device is always slower than the indicator in the car dashboard.

I doubt it. I suspect that at the very least, he would be in violation of the Data Protection Act if he did so. Not to mention all sorts of other rules and laws.

Re: Can you get flashed doing 31mph?
P'raps you should just read your previous speed camera thread:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/22...d-cameras.html
Judging by all your other motoring threads, you and your friends and family don't have much luck with cars!
