Ah, if only the incredibly ignorant Sunday Times Driving section would be so
magnanimous! It stubbornly refuses to use the correct km/h, even though I
and others have pointed out its mistake. My last letter to Driving, when one
of its road testers said that the speedometer of the car he was testing
showed its speed in kph, and I said that that this tester needs to get his
eyesight tested, as no speedometer anywhere in the world will ever show kph,
was carefully not published.
None so blind, etc.

Daniel,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I did not realize that
this was in correct, but didn't take much to confirm you are right. I
have already changed this so that future versions will correctly refer to
"km/h" for the metric speed units.
I appreciate the feedback.

Please assist us by responding in a timely manner.
"The latest version now allows for speed in kilometers per hour (kph) and
miles per hour (mph).
There is no such metric symbol as kph, the correct symbol for kilometres
per hour is km/h. A picture speaks a thousand words:
