120mph+ in real money - has to be a white knuckle ride

And she's like 'Look, 200' and pointing at the speedo one hand on steering wheel......

Points will not get applied to a UK license. Hire car company may get sent the fine & will charge an Admin fee - reasonable with Sixt - insane with the American's - Hertz, Avis etc.

If the speedo is reading 60 (kph?) then the real speed was probably 55-58.
Don't know how the German cameras are set up but they may take the over-read into account.

True dat.. I always do speedo indicated 55mph in those 50mph average speed areas

Always wondered how accurate the the sat nav speed display is as it suggests I could go faster

If I recall EU legislation is that speedometers must read at least 10% over actual speed.

As to Sat Nav the speed measurement error based on carrier phase rate (Doppler offset) is less than than 0.07mph.

With a modern Satnav with a good chip set and software it is pretty damn accurate. Mine changes the car's gears according to gradient, bends & a myriad of other things on the route.

Old Tom Toms can be 5-7 miles out, but they are always conservative.

You sure that's not the auto box doing that?

The SatNav 'reads the road' & sends instructions to the gear box, which are compared to sensor readings allowing for the next gear to be preselected.

Expect a small fine in the post. This one I had to visit the police station to get a slap on my wrist. The police officer was actually quite funny.
