With some auto makers (BMW), that's 10% PLUS 2.4 mph. It means that
you could be doing 50 with the speedometer reading 57.4 mph, and BMW
would decline to fix it because it was "within spec".

I don't know if Honda has the same spec or not, but if my speedometer
were off by more than two miles per hour at that speed, I'd want to
know that it could be adjusted so that the correct speed was shown.

Now I know that the odometer can be reprogrammed to display a
different number of miles (which I'm not so happy about), but I'm not
sure about what can be done for the speedometer.

Now it may turn out that nothing can be adjusted, but I still plan to
get the speedometer checked because I'd like to know my actual speed
even if I can't change it.
