First time in 45 year of driving I have ever told a cop I didn't believe his radar. I've been pulled over more in the last 4 weeks than I have in the last 15 years. Cops sure like pulling it over. Cop said, "It looks fast.", so I showed him when I drove off that it was. He followed me for another 10 miles.
Find a long straight road and set cruise control to 60mph. Time one mile, it should read one mile per minute. If you time it for 5 minutes, it will give you a much closer reading of actual speed (the more miles/minutes the more accurate). Make sure you set CC right at 60 and don't do it on a hilly or twisty road. Good luck!
