My boss called me in to let me know I'd been speeding last Friday on a road downtown. All I could think was that it was on a stretch where I'd just come off an elevated expressway onto a road at ground level. My boss was surprised as she knows I'm a very careful driver, and was just letting me know with no consequences.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought the alert was false. I had her send me a copy of the report and BINGO I saw what had happened. I'd driven downtown on a highway called the DVP that links onto an elevated highway, the Gardner. Underneath the Gardner is a road called the Lakeshore. I'd taken the ramp up to the Gardner. The alerting company used the GPS to show I was on the Lakeshore (with a low speed limit) as opposed to the Gardner (with a high speed limit). Obviously they ignore the elevation data from the GPS.
Fortunately I also use an app on my SmartPhone that records my driving, so I've been able to share that data with her.
