When you do 40 in a 35 zone in your car, you full well know that you are breaking the law.

Most analogue speedos are accurate to within around 10% (+/- 5%) of actual, which can be further made even less accurate depending on the angle you look at it (for instance if you're exceptionally tall or if you have your seat laid right back.

So in practice, you really can do 40 in a 35 and not know it.

hypocritical.

You keep using this word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

I note you've still not provided evidence for the 99% figure you used earlier along with this repeated claim of hypocrisy. .

Try telling the magistrate that and see how far you get.

Depending on how much over you were, coupled with the road quality etc, potentially you could get away with it.

Anyway, it only really matters if you get caught.  In which case, the police's measurements allow a margin for error anyway.

They used to in the UK, however recently they implemented a zero tolerance policy, which thanks to the accuracy of speed cameras meant that in some areas (notably Avon and Somerset) people were being hit for points and fines for going .5 of a mile an hour over the limit.

Due to the outcry and the fact that it was physically impossible for the average motorist to get readings accurate enough not to get slapped, leeway was re-introduced very quietly.
