I'm thinking all you would have to do is tell the judge you were watching the road instead of keeping all of your attention focused on the speedometer. Isn't that the point of school/playground zones- slow down and watch for children.

I'd also like to find the quote made by police yesterday and save it in case I need it- because the officer basically says "just slow down when there are kids around- it's common sense."
I know that 31 is technically speeding, but in a real world sense, do these actually get issued? I'm sure that my speedometer needle is thick enough to put me off 1 km/h. If the tread on my tires is new, my speedometer might be that much off. I'm exaggerating, but I can't see a ticket being issued for 31. 35, sure.
