"Have a similar driver assistance system which although pretty good does tell me I'm going over 30 in any zones with national speed limit signs where the limit is actually 60 or 70 for dual carriageways."

Does this mean Mercedes are selling a car incapable of reading the National Speed Limit sign? Or is it instances of the driver understanding the rules even if there are no signs? From experience, there are sections of 60mph single carriageway A1 north of Morpeth interspersed with sections dual carriageway where the driver knows the speed limit changes from 60 to 70 and back to 60, but are not necessarily signed other than National Speed Limit Applies. (That's a white circle with a black diagonal band.top-right to bottom left for non-UK readers. The 60/70mph limits are for cars and has different meaning for cars towing trailers/caravans, small or large commercial vehicles buses/coaches etc)
