My biggest concern on your side would be getting a speeding ticket (don't do metric well):D memtb
A little, a LOT, off topic, but here's your tip of the week.
The really simple way to convert metric speed limits to imperial is as follows;
Divide the posted limit by 10, i.e. drop the right hand digit. So 100 becomes 10, 60 becomes 6.
Now multiply that remaining number by 6. So 6 x 6 = 36. So 60 kmh becomes 36 mph.
Easy-peasey!!!
Oh and don't fret being a few mph off the exact speed, our police are pretty tolerant, other than places like school zones, etc, you won't get stopped for doing 2 or 3 mph over the limit. In fact here in Ontario there is no penalty for anything less than 10 mph over the limit and a few years back the then head of our Provincial police, our State Troopers, made a public statement that officers would not stop people on the highway unless they were doing 15+ mph over the limit as long as they were not driving dangerously, hopping lanes, tailgating, etc.
