Gary,
That would not surprise me. All our SatNavs we have here do that already and
tell you to reduce speed when you are above the limit. Think Mercedes delivers
all their cars with SatNavs. But there are nice young lady voices who tell you
that.

Mercedes recently announced, on the new E-Class, a camera system that
locates, recognizes and interprets German speed limit signs and flashes a
warning, in the form of a speed limit sign, on the speedo if the driver is
exceeding the posted speed limit on that road.
Seriously,
