What should you do if the velometer is above range?

When the velometer shows readings above the acceptable range, the correct response is to stop immediately and call control. This action is critical for safety reasons. A velometer that is out of range can indicate a significant issue, such as a malfunction in the vehicle's speed monitoring system, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions or potential violations of traffic regulations. Reporting the matter to control ensures that the situation can be assessed and managed appropriately, allowing for any necessary safety precautions to be put in place.

Continuing to drive slowly despite the high reading could still put you and others at risk, especially if the issue relates to vehicle performance. Reporting the issue after the shift does not address the immediate safety concern and fails to provide control with timely information. Adjusting the settings of the velometer is not advisable because it might mask a serious problem rather than fixing it, and it could lead to further complications. Therefore, stopping and alerting control is the prudent course of action.
