Then you start getting complacent about exceeding the speed limit and the limits don't mean much any more. It's OK to do 70 in a 60 zone but that's even more over the limit.
If the speedo read what I was actually doing, I'd have a hard limit - the speed limit. At the moment, I just don't care that I'm going to fast because the speedo always reads way to high.

I have to agree with you there BluZ, I take less notice of the speedo as it appears so far out, and usually settle on what feels right especially on the highway. I know it's not the right thing to do, but I was wondering why all and sundry were overtaking me when I picked the car up from Sydney.
