A few years ago, my sons and I were riding part of the route to a campground, the end of which includes a long, 3-5% downhill grade on a minor highway. As we were coasting rather nicely down the hill, my youngest at the front of the "peloton" (of 3) caught up to and slowly passed a cop car at which point, my son got rather worried that the cop would pull him over for speeding. So, yes, perhaps there are times when checking a speedometer might be useful.
