CraigP pointed out...."It's a bit irrelevant Dieselfitter, along with kb's case".
And Harleyman also noted in reply to a post of mine..."That reading for the speedo; presumably you checked it with a GPS or similar, and if it's only 5mph out that doesn't sound too bad. On a car like the i10 i'd suggest it's irrelevant anyway".
Well, that's told me good and proper - irrelevant on two counts! (probably best to insert a smiley at this point... :-)
My simple (but irrelevant) point was just that it would be helpful to have a speedo that corresponded, within a reasonable margin, with GATSO's, SPECS and Police detectors and might have overcome people unknowingly 'mimsing' to the annoyance of others. I have my own thoughts regarding speed, speeding, speed limits but they're probably not relevant and I won't burden you with them.
But again, and for the last time, I put my hands up and say, OK, I'm clearly mistaken having been put right by those who know much more about these things than I. I've watched, and sometimes participated in, this topic as it has been discussed (often resulting in quite enthusiastic banter) for as many years as I was registered at 'the other place' (eight years or so) and I'm sure nobody will mind if I carefully reverse out of this one and leave it you.
