I checked our old car, a Ford EA station wagon, and its speedo was reading 100 when it was actually doing 98 km/h. I don't mind that amount and I had a bit of a hunch because of some of the radar units that display speed near Melbourne. My gripe is that it shouldn't be a difference of about 5 km/h at 100 (5%).
I believe that if you choose to speed then you have to be prepared to pay the fine but wouldn't it be nice to actually be allowed to make the choice. When it comes to driving the best thing that I'd like to see more of is consideration - bit old fashioned i guess. Let faster drivers room to overtake etc. The thing that annoyed me most on the recent trip was drivers who travel at 85 km/h on the road but speed up to 110 on double lanes so barely anyone can pass.
