Once I was about a cars length away he pulls up next to me and I didnt turn to look untill he blipped his sirens. He pointed to his speedo, then to me, then pointed behind him. I knew he ment slow down but I was only doing 55 in a 55. SO I slowed down to around 40, pulled behind him and kept his pace. Could my speedo be off between 5-10 mph? Or was he just messing with me?

I've heard of others complaining about this. To be off by that much though. Even if speed limit was 55 and you set it for 55 and your off by 5 usually they'll give you 5 or so over without messing w/ you. Are you sure you were in a 55, almost sounds like you were in a 45.
Have a buddy or two to be sure their's isn't off too pace you at a given speed to see what the difference is. He very well coulda been screwing w/ you...
