You need photographic evidence like this:

This was taken going downhill on the M40 just crossing the border from Buckinghamshire into Oxfordshire, in my old mk3 Astra 1.4 8v MPI Auto.

Not really, only needs an inaccurate speedo. What it displays and how fast the car is going are not always the same thing.

Yes. In my pic above I think I was really doing 150mph...
