As others have said, it can be very easy to unintentionally go over the limit without realising it on urban streets. I’ve also turned on the warning system on my car.

@ieeur @daringfireball there is also a lot of peer pressure to speed from other road users.

The moron tailgating you will need to accept that you are literally unable to speed.

Many new Cars already have rear collision prevention; they automatically flash brake lamps if the car behind is too close.
Morons will need to accept that the driver may not be brake-checking them, it could be the car.
