   @tlalexander @rachael @notjustbikes it should be an absolute limit or there is no reason to have a limit at all. Regardless, it’s academic. In 10 years in Oakland I have never seen a driver cited for excess speed or reckless driving, not even once.

     @Phil_C @wooliex @tlalexander @rachael @notjustbikes
     "All uk cars have speedometers downgraded by 10%"

     That is dangerous nonsense - certainly not my experience in any car recently - under-reading very slightly, yes, but nowhere near 10%

     You may be thinking of old magnet, spring and cable drive systems ... That went a long time ago

     @wooliex @tlalexander @rachael @notjustbikes so if you go to safely overtake someone and a car comes unexpectedly at speed from the other direction you're not supposed to speed up to get back in front of the other car safely?
     Driving is largely situational. To make it absolute is crazy.

     Plus all UK cars have their speedometers downgraded by 10%.
