Simply add the uncertainty to your 55 kmh then subtract it.

Explanation:

The uncertainty figure shows you the maximum and minimum velocity:

55 - 0.94 = 54.06 km/h

55 + 0.94 = 55.94 km/h

Incidentally, the typical uncertainty on a speedometer is nearer 10% due to the allowable differences in tyre pressure affecting rolling radius.
