Not helpful for dealing with this now, but helpful for the
future, does your car have a speed limiter button? If you set
that for the speed limit, you will never be caught again.

Never say never.
The speed limiter fitted to my car (VW) will allow you to exceed
the set limit if you are driving down a hill. It does give a
audio warning if this happens but I imagine this could be missed
if you have loud music playing of a couple of talkative or
shouting kids in the car.

As an aside, my Volvo (old man's car) DOES control the speed
when travelling downhill when set to Speed Limiter.

Are you sure about that?
If you know enough to set the limiter in the first place, surely
it's better to drive within that limit and keep a lookout for
changes rather relying on technology that can fail?
Saying "My speed limiter failed" is no defence to a speeding
charge

I use mine all the time, I can concentrate on the road and not
my speedometer. It will hold speed on downhill sections.
