Are you not required to know what speed you were driving at? How else would you be able to stay under the limit?

Are you not required to know what speed you were driving at? How else would you be able to stay under the limit?
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoA driver obviously cannot constantly keep his/her eyes on the instruments.
- geon 13y agoNo obviously not, but you should have a sense of speed enough to not deviate much from the last time you checked.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoNot precise enough that I would testify against myself or against someone else.
- scarecrowbob 13y agoI don't get pulled over often, but the last time that I got pulled over I told the officer that I believed I was going the speed limit. It's a subtle distinction, but it seemed to work as he had no other reason to pull me over and didn't write me a ticket.
- AldousHaxley 13y agoThe last time I tried that the officer angrily barked back at me, "GIVE ME A NUMBER." So YMMV, I guess.
- sigkill 13y agoWhat if you really are doing 35 and tell the officer "I was doing 35"? Surely that's perfectly fine right?
- nthj 13y agoNo. You're required to not exceed the speed limit.
- alsocasey 13y agoI suppose it depends what is the intended meaning of the question - you want my average speed over the last few minutes? Since you've been following me? The latter is probably the intended meaning and, in that case, I really can't be expected to know.
