Seymour said the car in front of him was driving erratically, speeding up and slowing down in the right lane.

This is one of my pet peeves; this is not the 1950's; we can make speedometers accurate to within 3%....this margin would account for all the vagaries of tire pressure etc.

Our newest car; pleasantly has a very accurate speedo...

Modern vehicles have GPS calibrated speedometers, and are often dead on. But for an electronic speedo, there's no excuse for more than a few percent.
