speedometer suggestions
I agree with the 'memory conversion' but, value in kms has to be multiplied by 0.6 (not 6.0). But, to be perfect, the value must be 0.62137199. :realcrazy:. (lol). It's the same as speaking two languages - as we are well aware in this country. Also the same when dealing with weather stats. Every 5 degrees in celsius equals 9 in fahrenheit, so 10 = 50, 15 = 59, 20 = 68 etc. I memorized all of them decades ago and there are no 'decimals' as in miles to kms. Also not a big deal as all of us in CDA with pre-'77 vehicles are aware of. I took my road test 50 years ago (in winter) in a '65 Monaco, so long before we went metric. And, at that point in time, much of the planet was already Metric. As far as I know, the vehicle my daughter uses in her upcoming test will have to display kms per hour. The (ICBC) examiner can fail anyone doing only 2 kms/hr over posted limit - if they choose to. I'd be interested to know what the rules are in MB - or other provinces for that matter. What I do not know is anyone in Canada who has taken a road test in a pre-'77 vehicle.
Regardless of the test rules, it only makes sense to have a metric display in our vehicles as long as we are residing in Canada. I've driven lots of miles in WA state and it's the exact opposite there when trying to convert from metric to imperial.
When all is said and done, $13. (U.S.) for a decal is pretty cheap.
