So, if you are caught on camera, you cannot say your speedo was telling you that you were under the speed limit. However, over here, you can still challenge the plods (UK term for Police Officers) to show that their measuring instruments were correctly callibrated on the day that they tracked you... If they did not keep to the law on this, then you were not lawfully shown to be over the limit.
