Use a GPS

What you want to do is drive with traffic and watch your tachometer. That is the RPM gauge, if your car has one. By marking the tach you can tell your approximate speed at any given time. You need to watch what RPM's you shift at, if you are in fifth gear cruising at 55mph then look at where your RPM's are... they will always be really close that in 5th gear at 55mph. You can then use that as an easy way to tell your speed with a broken speedometer.
