I suspect you might be telling on yourself here as someone who didn’t drive.
People who go through car education and actually drive learn about system tolerances. Speedometers can be off by up to 10% and radar guns can be off by about the same.
If you actually drive and use cruise control set to 30 and go up a hill to a level section of road, the cruise control will likely bring you up to 33 before it reacts the reduced power needs and brings you down to 30 again.
Cars in real life are not exactly like they are in video games.
That’s pretty much what they said, speedos over read. If your speedo is indicating slightly too fast, you’re probably sitting at the actual speed limit
Thames valley police hate the car. I’ve been done a couple of times that way. 33 in a 30 for me last time, Really strict.
Have you tried… learning how to operate a car?

I don’t own a car. I just maintain a drivers license for rare cases when I need to go to a place where public transport does not reach.
I just went through the education and have the practical experience regarding driving.
I don’t think this angry approach is the best way to go forward here. Action and advocacy will beat out internet anger all day.
Advocate for and use public transport at you local level.
By law speedos must never under-read. If you are driving such a car, you are breaking the law.
And your argument is balderdash. If there’s a tolerance with any machinery, a competent operator would factor that in.

But why would the sane do that?
Why wouldn’t you?
Risking a fine for the sake of a few seconds off the travel time? Why not simply stick to the limit as read from the speedo.
Because I’ve been doing it for decades and hot away with it. But I can actually drive well, so results may vary
