The best way to check the speed of your vehicle is with a speed radar outside of the vehicle. Years ago I read in a magazine about a Sonata, which maximum speed was 147mph, that was caught by a police speed camera going to 150's mph, and even 160's mph. Police was trying to catch the driver. Finally when they caught the vehicle, police tried to charge him with both speed violations. The driver got smart, he claimed that the cameras have a deffect about measuring speed and that the vehicle can't go further than 147mph.
So, the case was taken to a Sonata car mechanic, this expert said that indeed, the car can't go beyond 147mph. Then the police tried the car going to full speed in that highway -this part of the route was a hill going down that helped the vehicle to go beyond its speed limit- and was able to prove one of the violations only, the lesser speed one. That was the charge paid by the driver.
