You take the ticket to court, and say that your speedometer was wrong and you had no way of knowing it, they will forgive the ticket. And instead give you a fix it ticket. Then you fix the speedometer and show them that, and they forgive that ticket. Problem solved. Bingo, Bango.

what year is your car? If you have a 99/00 it has a "test'' function that you can use and it will read out your speed digitally to you, where your odometer is displayed.
oops, just looked at your sig and saw you had an 01.

I think Ford re-calibrates speedo's not sure if it voids that since you replaced the face gauges

but why go through that hassle when he knows it is broke, and can just fix it since now and avoid the situation all together.
