khalli: he was driving OUT of Doha; probably on a 120kph highway; there's a 3-5kph tolerance built into most cameras and it would not be a violation; not to mention that most car speedometers are inaccurate and read higher than actual...
ben-chode (pretty juvenile username sorry):
1) When the rpm spiked to 7.5k, did the car also suddenly speed up/accelerate? Or did the rpm just spike up and make noise but not accelerate the car any faster?
2) I want you to again drive at 125 kph and tell us the exact rpm the Civic engine normally needs to maintain a constant 125.
3) Does your car have cruise control?
4) Was this the first time this happened? Can you make the car do it again? You're right, Honda won't and CAN'T do anything if there's no error codes stored in the computer and if they can't reproduce the problem.
Let me know; depending on your answers, it could be one of two scenarios; none of which are good news sorry..my aim is to just give you some insight so that the dealer doesn't treat you like a child and so that you know what to ask them. Best of luck.
