I don't really know what their beef with traffic laws is all about but yes, there are better things they could be doing with their resources.

Still though, I make good use of cruise control when I have to drive in VA to make sure I'm always legal. They'll bust you for a mile over the limit, just because they can.

im not sure about virgina, but most USA roads ive traveled, cops arent dat anal about ur speed unless u're going like 12 over on the hwy. be careful in small towns (pop less dan 5000), residential areas, school zones, construction zones. fines are huge for the latter 2.

My touring z has no tech package. But generally construction and school zones I'll slownright down. Double fines here and cops are always there.

I'll keep that in mind.... that's part of the reason I want something as super accurate as possible for live speeds

Torque app off obd sounds best

As far as accuracy, the iPhone and most phones update at 1 Hz (so one time every second). You can get an external GPS module that connects via Bluetooth to provide a more frequent update rate. The one below updates at 5 Hz and will give you just about all the accuracy you need. It's also useful for timing at HPDE's and track days.
