[net.auto] External Speed indicators/speedometer buzzers

The trucks in Japan have three lights on the top of the cab.  The
number of lit lights indicates the speed range the truck is travelling
at.  I don't remember the change points, but it seems that the
difference between 2 and 3 was the speed limit on the normal highways.


My grandparent's Buick of many years ago had an option that allowed them
to set a marker on the speedometer, and any time the speed exceeded
that marker, a buzzer would sound.  I remember that my grandfather kept
it set about 63 mph (when the CA limits were 60 state wide)

BMW 325's also have a buzzer setting to alert the driver when the chosen
speed is reached.
