Well, then you would get a lot of practice mentally converting mph to km/h
when you return home.  I believe that unless you get a U.K. face plate, you
only have the km/h scale.  The U.K. face plate, assuming you can buy one, is
marked liked the U.S. one.

You might rather want to swap in an entire U.K. cluster as it doesn't
overread so severely. It also has a rear fog light pictogram, and some
others you might have fun with.
