What kind of speed does a speedometer show in a vehicle?

Acceleration is not represented on a speedometer, however, when you look at the speedo, if the needle is moving, you can get a rough idea of acceleration like this: If the needle is going clockwise (of generally indicating faster speeds) - you are accelerating. If the needle is going anticlockwise - you are decelerating. Speedometers measure speed. You would need an accelerometer to measure acceleration.
