THE PROBLEM I?M FACING IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER GIVES THE WRONG READING IN COMPARE TO OTHER CARS AND TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS (ALWAYS THE SPEED ON THE CAR DISPLAY IS HIGHER THAN OTHER SYSTEMS), THIS CAN BE ACCEPTABLE WITHIN UP TO 7KM/H BUT NOT WHEN IT REACHES 15KM PER HOUR, THE WRONG READING IS NOT A FLAT LINE DIFFERENCE BUT THE ERROR BEHAVIOR IS EXPONENTIAL (INCREASE AS THE SPEED INCREASE)WHICH CAN BE DESCRIBED IN THE FLOWING WAY: A. BELOW 100KM/H THE ERROR WILL BE AROUND 10KM/H. B. WHEN THE SPEED IS 160KM/H THE ERROR IS 15KM/H (THE READING ON THE CAR SPEEDOMETER IS 15KM/H HIGHER THAN ACTUAL). *TR

WHILE FOLLOWING THESE VEHICLES AT NIGHT THE BRAKES LIGHTS CAUSED ME EXCESSIVE EYE STRAIN FROM AN APPARENT LIGHT TRAIL"THAT SHOWS UP IN MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN MY EYES SHIFTS. THIS IS A SIMILAR EFFECT AS THE RAINBOW EFFECT THAT IS EXHIBITED BY SOME DLP PROJECTORS AND TVS. THE ROOT CAUSE IS THAT MOST LED SYSTEMS ARE OPERATED IN A PULSING MODE TO CONSERVE POWER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT 60HZ IS A COMMON FREQUENCY USED, ONE WHERE MOST PEOPLE WILL SEE THE LIGHT AS ALWAYS ON, EVEN THOUGH IT IS FLICKERING ON AND OFF 60 TIMES PER SECOND. THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT THE FREQUENCY THEY USE IS ONE THAT I CAN SEE WHEN I SHIFT MY EYES, HENCE THE LIGHT TRAILS THAT APPEAR IN MY VISION FIELD WHEN FOLLOWING THESE VEHICLES AT NIGHT. NOT EVERYBODY'S EYES WILL SEE THE SAME FRE
