[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1174361, member: 3187"] Doesn't follow, if you are exceeding the speed limit then your speedometer will be reading way over. Speedometer inaccuracy is no defence. Yes, UK cops usually allow a bit over, it's unofficial, but something like 5% plus 3 mph. Cameras usually have a similar allowance. But you can be done for 1mph over. Unusual, but it can happen. Now, in France, 1kph over and, particularly if you have a UK number plate, you will be fined, on the spot (or at the nearest ATM, they will escort you there). If you can't pay, your vehicle can be impounded. Edited to add that my '14's speedometer is disappointingly inaccurate, around 5 or 6 mph at 70. [/QUOTE]
