It seems there are some strong opinions around. My initial comment was speedos vary so much. So by saying I'm sticking to whatever speed means the indicted speed on your speedo and probably not the real speed. A while ago my father-in-law had to follow me along a motorway, and I admit my honour I was doing 62mph with my van (lock me up, throw away the keys). When we stopped he said he thought I was doing over 70 according to his speedo! I know that the speedo in my current car is closer to the truth than my previous car, but whose to say (apart from the police) what speed I was really doing.

if your speedo says you are doing 70 you will be doing at most 70mph, likely less. a speedo can leaglly tell you a speed faster than you are doing but not lower. . many moons ago you could change the gearing output on gearboxes ( ford were easy to do ) so it would read slower than your speed. you would still get nicked though.
