    Yes/perhaps but who calibrates the satellite and checks its accuracy on a consistant basis. If used as evidence an expert must be able to testify to back it up. The court is not concerned that you the user thinks its accurate, that has to be backed up by an expert witness. Say a set of brakes are faulty, its not enough for the prosecution to say that, they have to call in the guy from the testing station to testify who physically examined the wreck after the crash. The court room and legalese is a whole different ballgame from showing your mates where you went for a ride.
    Another thing to consider is although you may not be speeding, your average speed through twisty road especially on a DR having fun may not conform to the LTSA/Police view of a safe speed for that road. Truckers know about this and the magic 81km/h average speed when filling in their logbook, there has been courtcases on this too but i don't have firsthand knowledge.

    Now this is getting rediculous. Who calibrates the cop's watch on a consistant basis? Yet the court will accept the officer's time from his watch as a valid time. The police radar must be calibrated at certain intervals, and guess what time standard is used internationally now as a time reference for this; Its GPS time. If GPS time cannot be accepted as accurate then nor can any system that uses time as a basis, and that includes ALL speed measuring devices.
    Time to ride

I once had a trial in a job where illegal parking was required to meet deadlines and they wanted me to pay stuff that.
    Speeding in a truck is as little as 4km/h over the limit all year round, easily done. Over ten years of transport industry including akld and england and the only parking tickets I had was trailer at night parked in industrial area on road with no red light. We found the ticket 2 months later when truck went in for a service, silly cop jammed it in radiator grill and it got sucked into some invisible spot!
    Although in an ideal world we should obey all laws in reality there are a lot of practical situations where a little extra speed makes sense. Its only a paycut if you don't workout a way to book in the extra $...

    You are still a frigging learned son, slow the fuck down, learn to pace yourself,
    Pay the fine, no amount of tec instrumentation, videos, what ever , excuses , crying a long story will not change it
    Be a man, control your wrist, pay the fine.
    If you cant do that, then fucking walk until you learn

    Now stop and think, why is it that every reply says basically the same thing??
    Wear the label, you printed it.
    Thats a harsh post-have you NEVER exceeded the limit? Have you never done something dickheady on a bike like say a huge burnout on grass while pissed out of your head..and then dropped it. If you had been injured, should we be blaming you for ACC levy rises? The OP has taken his medicine, but I think you have called the kettle black!

    Welcome to the realm of the legal system. Take a seat in the public gallery one day, its quite mindblowing. You should have seen the othercase that was on before that, service station attendant who punched a customer that then attacked him with machete afterwards...
