Depends on how fast they were going.
Yes, I can tell if a car is going 90mph. Anyone knows when a car is hellaciously speeding.
But if they're trying to contest that a car was going only 10-15 mph over the limit visually, it would be a tough sell. Too many variables can make the "guess" incorrect.

if they can "guess" on vehicle speeds what stops them from "guessing" on other matters like criminal matters. Heck by law even cops cant say a white powder in your car was cocaine. They do not have the training nor equipment right there to check. They have to send it to the lab to verify. On a report they have to say, "I found a material I suspect to be cocaine"
