Can you read?

serega

Yeah ?

"A driver in the process of filming a 'speed run' in his BMW M3 was pulled over for doing 118mph - but convicted of driving at 140mph after officers watched the tape." And then a picture of a merc's speedo showing 140kph..

serega

And then there is this:

again - mercs speedo clearly showing 140kph with a caption reading "Driver arrested after filming 140mph sprint"

Ever think that may be a 'library picture'? And it cant be a BMW dash, as the right indicator seems to be operating (at 140kph or mph)

serega

Nope, never occurred to me. It's like posting a picture of an egg while talking about the awesome power of potatoes, boggles my mind

That is the wonder of the media and their library pictures.

serega

Magical world we live in.
So can someone explain to me what was the "Can you read?" comment from trout about?

skoobidude

Sounds like he thought you mis-read the article, not the KPH-calibrated speedo in the piccy as you quite rightly pointed out.
As others suggest, obviously a library picture found by the media. No big deal

serega

Ah right, thats what i thought.
