Surely many motorists paid attention to the fact that some speedometers have some kind of mysterious red marks. There are no amazing versions on this score that have been built on the Internet. In fact, as almost always, everything is very simple and straightforward. However, before you figure it out, you should find out which car's speedometer is in front of us: a modern foreign car or an old Soviet one.
Soviet cars
On the speedometers of domestic Soviet cars, red strokes could be seen quite often. They meant the same in each model, namely, the maximum permissible speed in each gear. Thus, there were three marks on the speedometer, because in Soviet times there were still 4-speed gearboxes. Most often, red lines were located at divisions 40, 60 and 100 km / h (in fact, less than 100).
There is nothing like this on modern domestically produced cars. Moreover, they do not put red marks like those put by many foreigners. However, today red divisions can be seen mainly on the tachometers of European-made cars: Germany, France and Italy. So why are they?

Modern foreign cars
Unlike Soviet cars, red divisions on the tachometers of foreign cars do not show the maximum gear speeds, and the maximum permissible driving speed according to the rules of the road at certain plots. Moreover, depending on the country of production, the markings on the dial can vary quite a lot, as well as the number of marks.

For example, the French consider it necessary to mark the values of 50, 90 and 130 km / h. These are the permissible speed values in the city center, on public roads, as well as on the autobahns. The Germans have red marks set at 30, 90 and 130 km / h. In Italy, instead of 130, the mark is placed at 110. By the way, American cars have no additional divisions in our time, as well as domestic ones.
