Agreed, but in most circumstances the numbers aren't so pie in the sky so the scale doesn't need to change halfway up to make it possible.
Your Speedo would be sufficient for all factory spec cars and the digital read out would cover any outliers. Also don't they know going off the clock is far cooler than knowing how fast you're actually going?
I suspect most more modern cars the analog Speedo is mainly for decoration. Ours is similar to jocks and has no 30, 50 or 70..but being to a mere 140 the scale remains the same the whole way up with a slightly wider spacing and clearer markings. It has a nice art Deco style font and numbers that are arranged in the sweep of the dial rather than up/down to undo that clarity.
Doesn't matter anyway as your eye is drawn to the far bigger font screen between the dials with the exact speed on it..
