Pretty certain I will be selling this item as didn't do my homework and found it is non-compliant in my country in my application due to the rules here are very tough due to speedo tampering of JDM in the early days I was told ,so in essence it is no use to me but believe it could be fitted to an Australian registered car .
PM me in advance for further details if you like,cheers. |

@SirAndy Thank you for your thoughts.
Seems silly to me to "mark" an area on a speedometer at any spot. Now, marking it at "city" speed limits does make more sense than the USA version of 55 MPH... And on the trash can markings. Safety "Karens" created BOTH the speedometer markings and the "No Hot Ash" markings. Just seems to me, if you're putting embers into a plastic trash can, God is going to sort it out for you! You cannot fix stupid. Why label for it? Soon you will have so many labels that NONE are taken seriously. |

Soon you will have so many labels that NONE are taken seriously. That speedo is older than any safety belt requirements. I doubt anyone named Karen was involved. As someone who grew up in a very rural area of Germany, i always found the speedo markings rather useful, especially at night. You don't even need to read the numbers, just a quick glance at the speedo needle and you know if you're in the ballpark or above. Especially useful when you're driving drunk!
