In Japan they require vehicles to carry a set of lights wired to a speed
detector.  This applies at least to trucks and busses; I'm not sure about
cars.  The device is apparently tamper-proof and causes three lights on
the cab to light up to indicate the speed.  In particular, the center
light comes on if the vehicle is speeding.  The lights on either side
come on at lower speeds.

I have actually seen vehicles travelling down the highway with the center
light flickering, thus advertising "Look!  I'm speeding!"
