That's the problem, I have to use a sat nav to see the speed, the examiners require it also. I went for the sat nav docking option which has proven very useful.
Would you be happy to take a speeding ticket from a police officer who knew you were doing 40 in a 30 ? - or would you rather he used the provided equipment ?
Would you rather pass/fail a driving test based on factual evidence or the seat of the pants FEEL of an instrictor / examiner ?

Most experienced drivers who stick to the speed limit will instinctively know what 30-ish mph feels like.
I take pride in what I do and strive to offer the most enjoyable and best value learning experience possible. Different roads and cars give a different impression of speed and therefore guessing the speed is a sloppy and unacceptable practice in my profession.
Experienced in instructing and accurate at guessing speeds are totally different things.
I would rather my instructor was able to concentrate on what I was doing and taught me how to drive correctly rather than spending his time assessing speed by feel.
I know a motorcycle traffic copper - he has a scary ability to accurately assess the speed of an approaching car/van. ( proved by also having a laser gun behind him so he could not see it )
No matter how accurate he is - not a court in the world would accept his assessment in a prosecution.
