It shouldn't matter what your car was reading on the speedometer if you clocked with a radar gun like you stated above. So which are you lying about then, being clocked with a radar gun @167mp, or your speedometer being out and reading 167mph?


.....It can't be both!

He may have "held his ground" (until enough people called him on his B.S.), but now he's caught in a flat out lie.
