Quite frustrating really, I would much prefer my car to go exactly what it says I'm going.

Car A could be going 99, Car B could be going 95, and both speedos read 100. 4kph is quite a big difference if you're on the motorway and potentially holding people up.
Out of interest what makes you believe snapchat is the more accurate source of your speed?
