Speedo redline??

[GalantOnly]

Might be a stupid quiestion... But... I DON'T GET IT!
What's all those "redlines" doing in speedos? Gear change stuff?? Like here for example:

[bradc]

To try and keep you at a range and to remind you of the speed limit

Just so borring?? What's speed limit is from 30-35 km/h?:|

[SGHOM]

Max speed per gear, usually indicated by a number

[bradc]

It is a common speed limit over here for roadworks

[bradc]

Derek, it isn't that. The lines will always be at those same speeds. No car has a max speed in 1st of 30kmh unless it is very small and weak, ie a 2cv might :)

This one looks really like speed limits... But Mercedes...:dizzy2:

[Nutter_John]

Yeah that last one deffo is speed limits in Europe , but as you say wtf is that on the first one :D

[bradc]

See, always 30 and 50, also that car has one at 130kmh, is it from a country with a 130kmh limit?

Well well... How will you explain this, Brad?:smoking:

[SGHOM]

Poss brad,
but their are many speedo's which indicate max speed per gear.

See above !!

[GalantOnly]

Ok, I can see it's combined 50-60km/h and gear change thing...

[bradc]

That one is sure, but the first one isn't!

[SGHOM]

As usual ...... I'm correct again ! /notworthy
