I think I mis stated my issue, I'm going faster then the speedo says by 10 MPH.... if the speedo says 60, I'm traveling 70 MPH, if I'm driving 50 by the speedo, then I'm traveling 60 MPH, so @ 10 MPH over, might be a target for ticket. I try and drive 10 less then the speedlimit, but thats a pain, and under 40 MPH is off by 5 MPH... I would not mind if it was slower then speedo, but faster to me seems an issue.
