Here's an idea to promote metric.
Use 62 mph (100 km/h) in the process of converting to the SI.
People understand 62 mph so why not use it until real conversion takes place.
It would be a subtle way for people to learn metric.
I noticed the use of 62 mph in an add in Roads and B

>Use 62 mph (100 km/h) in the process of converting to the SI.
Don't you agree this is a cause for NOT to *THINK MTRIC*! In a moving car, how
is one able to differentiate between 62 or 60 miles. It is the HARD conversion
that is causing delay in acceptance, since 62 mile is nearest
The conversion rule that I advocate is
30 - 50 - 80
or
20 - 30 - 50 - 80 -130
The first line means 30 mph = 50 km/h and 50 mph = 80 km/h
The second line has the same meaning, but has been extended to include 20
mph and 130 km/h
