As for alto, I presume its doing 130kmph.
they only way to check your car's speedo error is to use a GPS, A vbox or something, or drive at such speeds at a speed trap(expensive, the fine can be 1000rs). Speed trap is however not very accurate.
Speed radars have a 5% error level.
this is strange. i dont think there are speed traps on pune-mumbai expressway. Mercedes and skodas go crazy on these roads. even the volvos.
