Saved me a ticket when I was going 62 indicated in a 50 zone. CHP guy 
raised his gun, clocked me, and put it down (they routinely gave 
tickets on 10+ over on Highway 17).

As for recalibrating the speedo, wouldn't it be easier to redo the 
number graphics on the instrument panel?

Me, I'd make 3 ticks:

- -- FAST

- -- SLOW



- -- PARK
