Fetterman (D., Pa.) has received two speeding tickets in his home state — the more recent one of which was in March for exceeding the speed limit in Westmoreland County by 34 mph. Before this year, he was ticketed in April 2016 for going at least 24 mph above the speed limit in Warren County, according to state public records.

The senator’s aides have said Fetterman has texted and FaceTimed while driving, ”prompting concerns among his staff and fears about riding with him,” the Post reported, citing three people with knowledge of staff discussions who spoke about internal conversations on the condition of anonymity.

        The stopwatch and math kind.

        If you know the distance between 2 points and can time yourself moving between them, you can verify your speed as finely as your data allows.

        My buddy is also a car nerd and redid his whole instrument cluster and added a digital counter to his speedometer that was actually an old bedside radio panel thing so he had TWO decimals for his speed. Idk if it actually showed the speed with any more accuracy or just translated the needle position somehow but it looked very 80s Sci fi for sure.
