Pit lane speed limit has been there for 5 years now, so plenty of time for people to get it right (and to test).

Serious question. How do you know it is that accurate. How do you know it is more accurate than the equipment on the bikes. The simple fact is you do not know.

It is impossible for any two instruments to read exactly the same, and to be calibrated the same. Impossible.

There must be a ± tolerance. Maybe there is an agreed tolerance, but if not it makes a total farce of the whole procedure.

If you need a tolerance set it in yourself by dialing in a lower speed to your bike to ensure you do not speed . While the bike is moving these races can be lost it the pit lane ! But not won !
