Plus, I haven't seen a vehicle sold in the US for decades that didn't
have KPH as well as MPH marked on the speedometer.

Also, most people would probably figure out that if they seem to be
going 40% faster than anyone else on the road there might be some sort
of misinterpretation happening.

Then there was the famous case in the UK about a dyslexic driver who
interpreted "25" as "52". Apparently he had a good enough case (or a
good enough solicitor) to get the speeding fine dropped.
