Fla. Admin. Code R. 15B-2.011
Motor vehicle speedometer devices shall be tested by a speedometer testing shop or a motor vehicle repair shop prior to being put into use for speed enforcement and it shall be retested by a speedometer testing shop or a motor vehicle repair shop not less than once each six (6) months thereafter. All speedometer certifications shall be performed using a calibrated wheel dynamometer on which the wheels driving the speedometer are placed. Certain motorcycles which have the speedometer driven by the front wheel may require the use of a powered dynamometer. The calibration of a speedometer head alone, without the head being driven by the wheel from which it measures speed, will not be acceptable for the purposes of this rule. After September 1, 1994, all tested speedometers shall read within plus or minus three (3) mph of the actual reading and be tested by a speedometer shop or motor vehicle repair shop registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as a motor vehicle repair shop according to Sections 559.901 - 559.9221, F.S. The person making the tests shall issue a certificate dated, signed and witnessed showing the degree of accuracy. Only the most recent six (6) month test certificate is required in order to establish the presumption available under Section 316.1905(3)(b), F.S.
