Hmmmm, it could well be.  However it appears that the speedo on my  400i 
reads about 10% fast as it is.  If they have rigged the roadside radar  
displays 
to show speed faster than actual, then my speedometer is really, really  
reading fast.  In fact that must be why is reads 10mph when parked!

have always wondered if those machines inflate the displayed speed.   Since 
they are to be a deterent, it is only a small step to tweeking them to  display 
on the high side.

About  the only good use of police radar around here in CT is the unmanned  
radar displays that are designed to flash your speed at you in order to  
shame 
you into slowing down. They may well work for that purpose but I  find that 
their best use is to calibrate my  speedometer!
