 GPS and mobile connection with IMEI are two uncorrelated things. Precision for triangulation on a highway in countryside will not be precise enough to reliably know the speed.

 Modern GPS has a resolution of ~1m. It can very accurately determine speed.

 I was talking about triangulation from cell towers not GPS.
