Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: Speedometer is not accurate and in time i found this to be a safety issue. at first it was trucks running up on my rear bumper beeping horns at me. so when i discovered the speedometer was registering slow, i sped up. but then how much you can not tell and i find myself breaking when i see a patrol car. i was maybe 1 or 2 over but yet you just do not know. its a distraction that i find may cause a safety issue while driving. vw does this to conform to a european standard. this could be easily calibrated out as the cars computer is aware of the correct speed as vw claims the odometer is not affected. unecessary breaking or a road raged truck driver are safety issues. *nm
