My Clio has a large digital speedo. Even the cruise control can't stop it going 1 mph over or below all the time! When I did my IAM test one of the comments during the feedback was the display often showed 31 in town. I'd just been given a F1rst so wasn't about to argue about the real speed vs the d...
