Speaking of which, does anyone know how to go about finding out the state of one's demerit points?

I must be tantalizingly close to being demerit free again.

Who says the boys, and girls, in blue aren't helpful.
Box of donuts for that man.

I think there is something wrong with my eyes. Those yellow dots seemed to disappear when focusing on the centre dot. That shouldn't happen.

I had a "scan" of it, interesting, thanks Rtc.

In the old days ... it was called tunnel vision. Concentration on one part of the road/direction ... and things either side will "dissappear". Usually this most happens/noticed at speed. Especially by those inexperienced at speed ....

Wow what a great demonstration.

It's okay, you're human.

Now, apologize to the yellow dots. Say "Sorry Mate I Didn't See You"

See, that was the original point I was making. It's the same phenomenon as when some numpty pulls out in front of you when you're bearing down on them. It's a human frailty, and very few of us are exempt from it.

The only benefit to knowing is that the smart yellow dots will start to behave like we haven't seen them. They will stop riding like the world owes them courtesy, and they will be safer for doing so.

Maybe we can learn something from the yellow dots. Of course, the numpty yellow dots will just keep expecting everyone to see them, and will be the ones lying on the roadside while we say to them "Sorry Mate I Didn't See You".

Dissapearing yellow dots kind of make a case against high-vis I would say!

Troxler's fading or Troxler's effect is a phenomenon of visual perception. When one fixates a particular point, after about 20 seconds or so, a stimulus away from the fixation point, in peripheral vision, will fade away and disappear. The effect is enhanced if the stimulus is small, is of low contrast or equiluminant, or is blurred. The effect is enhanced the further the stimulus is away from the fixation point.

So interesting, but doubtful whether it is applicable to smidsy; for one, the stimulus should be directly in the drivers field of vision, and the driver should not be fixating on a single point for 20 seconds.
Still, I'm going to ride like a cautious yellow dot anyway; cos whether it is this effect or not, road users are fucking muppets!

just pulled over into him.

i done a bit of research and found this, its quite interesting have a read: http://gifura.orzhk.org/src/1332235315120.swf

I read somewhere that if the dots move they wont disappear therefore if you are to move in relation to the background you will be more likely to be seen. weaving as approaching a situation where you are unsure as to if you are visible should mean that the driver will see you and probably think what the F is he doing but thats ok cause a least he will be watching you. then pull out anyway
