people dont crash because they are paying full attention to the driving environment - that helps reduce the chance of being surprised
introducing a climate of fear where people are mentally paying excessive attention to the speedo reduces the attention span to the outside environment
surely you realise that maintaining flow is more important than maintaining the speed limit
sadly people are not generally bright, & they are eaisly swayed by propaganda

There's nothing to work out. It's all in your head. About the only thing too it seems.

Why not use the tolerance on km, no reason to need miles. My gps can be set to warn at 104 over

Why do I need to have a GPS accurately set just so I can drive somewhere!

You dont, not that you obey the law anyway

Lol I do for the most part but often don't if things get silly. It's illegal to store more than 50 litres of fuel at a home and I know lots and lots and lots of people that break that law. We should catch these evil doers that own speedway cars and generally use it appropriately cause they are burning down houses everywhere.
The tank on my car holds more than 50 litres.

I hope you'll be writing to all the f1 and V8 supercar drivers (etc) how pathetic they are celebrating a win with a burnout

Zero road toll so that is fantastic! I think luck was involved and one single factor cant be singled out. I do believe the 4kmh over ticket limit would have had some effect. I still think there is a lot of work to be done on correcting peoples attitudes to fast driving on the streets.

No. The speed limit is 100km/h. That's 62.14mph. So the GPS would be set to warn at 62mph. Which is 99.78km/h. That's not a 3km/h safety margin. So using imperial units does not achieve the 3km/h margin you claimed.
I just know you're going to claim you meant you'd set it to 60mph, but you don't need to use imperial units for that. You'd just set it to 97km/h in metric measurements. There's a 3km/h margin right there.
Thank you. Please, come again.

I wasn't going to get caught coz I used my GPS - And I didn't see one cop on 2 stretches of road that are normally smelling of them.
