I knew that! Anyone ever stationed overseas would. I don't know how to convert the money because the value changes daily.

Actually, we had an Isuzu Trooper with only MPH on the speedometer while we were in Iceland. We had to do the math all the time.

Man, that really sounds like a small town cop being alittle tough. I mean hell, the law is the law, BUT.......

Yes, 5 over. Like I said I've always travelled 5 over and never been bothered. Ironic thing is I just worked there flagging on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nothing worse than a dick cop. You should have pulled your gun and made him dance.

For five over, get a statement from a local shop saying your speedo was out of range and plea it to a defective equipment so you won't get the speeding charge on your driving record. You can count on another $75 a year on your insurance per year if they find out about it.

Sorry to hear about that. My wife got a ticket for speeding last year. She went to court and the judge knocked it down to defective equipment, no points that way, and she was going a lot faster than 5 over.
