long-short story
i was on a highway, in quebec city (speed limit 100kmh(63mph), police tolerate up to 120kmh(74mph) always)

i was on cruise control, 118kmh(73mph) in left lane, 10 pm, and a cop doing radar in the center of the highway, saw me, started (without lights) so i really thought he wasn't chasing me, and then came at me and arrested me.... (and was angry because i took the next exit 200ft later so he wouldn't get out of his car on the side of the highway but in a smaller road... what a prick i am...)

he said he caught me at 129kmh(80mph)

i told him it was impossible... he and he gave me a ticket....
it is not much, 130$... but still....

i always paid my ticket, i'm 29, always took my responsability no matter what ever I did... i still have all my points, never had a car accident (except from a hit and run in a parking lot while i was inside a store) so, i'm really not an angry young teenager hating the police

i want to know, is it possible that speedo can do freegame, and give us bad speed reading? anybody had that problem? (i have different wheels, but tires are 225/40/18 chich is almost same wheel ratio)

i told the police officer that i was really ashamed of his work as it is impossible he caught me at that speed. that i would gladly paid his ticket a 118kmh, wich is the speed i was going...

in the end i know i will pay the ticket, but still... is it possible he was right and my car was wrong? i'm thinking about writing a complain letter, just to let know his supervisor, i'm dissapointed.... (i know it wont change anything... but goint in court and loosing 4h of work at least to save a few buck is just a bad financial decision)
