Speeding is an absolute offence. You can be prosecuted if you go 0.1km/hr over. Ignorance is not a defence unfortunately. An application of common sense is what is needed.

You miss my point and obviously can't read! I didnt comment on how accurate yours or anyone else speedo is. I was pointing out that speeding is an absolute offence, ie any advance over it is illegal.Your 10% plus a km or two is the common sense approach that I was talking about. Under your arguement you could disconnect your speedo and claim to the police that you had no way of knowing what speed you were going and therefore deserve to be let off!!!!

The old addage is right - Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
