I can see that a reminder would be useful. How long before the reminder
becomes too familiar and gets ignored though?

I feel your pain, but would recommend finding a way to solve the root
cause. My current route to work involves several small lanes where you
have to slow to 10mph in the winding bits. It takes 40 minutes instead
of potentialy 25, but I miss all the worst traffic jams and have a much
less stressful journey (and there's no cameras ;-)

Any chance you'd be able to fit an aftermarket cruise control? I use
mine to good effect for 30/40mph limits quite often...
