If you use a satnav, some of them record your speed onto the unit and I have seen this used as evidence (In a magazine article). I was under the impression the 34 was the very lowest speed you had to be doing to get done in a 30 limit as the devices are meant to have tollerences to allow for a slightly out speedo and things like determining the needle precisly on an analouge dial, so 34 seems abit suspicious as If its been knocked up just to catch you.

My source for the info about 34 was from my Driving instructor.

Using any evidence to prove your speedo reading is fruitless. You can't prove what wheels or tyres you had fitted and as far as the BiB or courts are concerned you were speeding. My ex-plod Volvo had a calibrated speedo but I still got zapped at 127mph. My speedo said 110........
The plod are considered to be 'expert witnesses' and as such, thier word is final. We all know how dishonest some of the coppers are but unless we all have cameras and techographs fitted, we can't fight back.
Actually I fight back by flicking V's at them under the dash board. That shows 'em!
