74 in a 70
A322 to Bracknell this morning, overtaking a van at a leisurely speed, popped my nose out in front and there was the camera van on the inside.
Looked down and braked - before braking about 74 on the speed, after braking 67/68 - do u reckon he'll do me ??

Unlikely:
1. At that speed, your speedo is already over-reading by at least a couple of mph;
2. The ACPO guidelines say that a summons shouldn't be issued unless you're exceeding the prevailing speed limit by 10% plus (I think) 3 mph.

You should be okay as am I not right in saying that manufacturers' speedos are allowed to be accurate to +/- 7%? At 70, that gives you 4.9 mph to play with so you should be fine up to 75 mph ...
Anyone know how accurate the S's speedo is ?
