Default Damn, my speedo is incorrect. (got pulled over)

Got pulled over about 30 minutes ago for speeding, 45 in a 35.
I am guessing my speedo is off by 5 mph since I was cruising between 35 and 40mph, according to my speedo.
It was a really quick stop too, less than 5 minutes, Cop was cool and told me to get my speedo checked.

shot of the rear of my car so you can see what I drive.

I mean.....damn. Why would you think people would care that you got a ticket for 10 over? Is there something special that I'm missing? Also, what does driving a old car with a retarded plate have to do with the rest of your thread? What did you expect people would say? I am so puzzled right now as to why you made this thread. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't retarded, so that means I had to miss something, and I can't figure it out, its driving me nuts......maybe you are retarded.

first off if you get your speedo re-calibrated, you still won't totally get off... and in chesapeake there's one judge that won't take a recalibration, i got him a few years back...probably not worth the cost just for 10 over...

also- nobody cares what you drive. and with a tag that says rac3r-x he probably thought you'd be an easy ticket to start off his quota...

you should probably just rip your entire dash out and see if you can hand adjust your speedo.......
