    This is a real PITA on classic vehicles such as my motorbike. At 30mph, the speedo needle sweeps between 20 and 40 so the actual speed is anyone's guess. I rely on the prevailing traffic all sticking to the limit as my speed limiter.
    I got stopped for speeding once on a motorbike in a 30 zone (a full kitted out Maico motocrosser as it were) and never noticed the police behind me (although all the people in village watched me being followed) until I turned off into a side road. I pulled up, nonchalantly leaned the bike against a lamp post as it had no side stand. Upon being told I was doing around 40mph I pointed out that I couldn't have been and showed him the speedometer, mounted down below on the forks, which was stuck at 30. Even though the bike wasn't road legal, i.e. offroad tyres, half a number plate, no front lights, etc. all I got was a letter telling me off and a clip around the ear. The good old days of policing...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
