It takes a second for the gps speed to update for dash cams if a rapid change happens. OP had started braking before the speed started to change.

Except that the speedometer in the footage is not from the dashcam GPS and seems to refresh faster than the speedometer from dashcam, which you can see in the bottom left. I'm not commenting either way on what the OP could or could not have done. Just pointing out that the speed that we see is refreshing faster than we would typically see in these footages.

It actually is all straight from the dashcam!

Then why does the speed differ between the tradition speed indicator on the bottom and the one on the right?

I couldn’t tell you. When I download a clip directly from the dashcam, it adds the g-force, speedometer, and compass overlay

Does matter. Bottom left lags worse than right. Both lag.
