Ah, but you're forgetting that speedometers in cars are not calibrated!
So it could say 80 kph but you're doing only 74 in reality. That's why you always have a margin by law, when you get caught for speeding. That's why I always do between 5 and 10 kph more than allowed
You also have think about truck drivers going crazy being stuck behind folks who -- according to their speedo -- do 80 kph. Because trucks have calibrated speedos and know that those in front of them are too slow.
80 on speedo is 77 in reality (says the onboard diagnostic mode) but sure trucks are better calibrated. I usually do 85 but if I end up behind a person who does 80 and it's a one lane road I'm not going to overtake that person in a hurry. As long as people do not intentionally get in the way or drive silly slow I'm fine with them sticking to the limit.
