    Then there is this

    http://motorbikewriter.com/speedo-gazing-fatal-hazard/
    If 'speedo gazing' is so prolific, how come the number of tickets issued isn't falling? How come the death toll hasn't risen against the normal rate since the implimentation of speed cameras?

    This is futile, mo' fuckers be refusing to think for themselves!

    I guess how long it takes to check you speed is just a tiny 'very over focused on in this thread' part of the whole process of checking vehicle operation while driving.

    When you choose to check you speed would have a larger effect on a crash outcome ie Open road no cars to checking your doing smack on 30km 3 times when passing a school bus offloading kids that are running everywhere because stray 5kms over and its ticket time if the police see you.

    If anything would cause you to do this at the wrong time/More often the 4km tolerance will.

    The downside of the police trying to make us more focused on our speed rather than our environment and perhaps the reason why the road toll is not coming down with it in place.

    Evidence of absence is not absence of evidence.

    Tickets issued may be not falling because (1) tolerance has been zero'd and (2) enforcement is increasing

    Death toll is offset because of crashes are more survivable. For example, in the v early 80s when I first started treating road trauma, most seat belts were lap-only, windscreen glass shattered, and air bags were rare-as. Also, pre-hospital and in-hospital care have improved measurably.

    For instance.....

    in the Netherlands the politicians ( who are supposed to represent the population )
    Asked the general population what they thought about speed, speedig and policing of same.....
    They also asked what bothered them the most on the road....

    Tail gating was number 1 annoyance, and therefore now carries a very hefty fine...
    speeding didnt bother anybody, so speed limits went up, policing went down.
    Speed cameras were sold to nz and oz and other countries where the chosen few decide what is good for the dumb masses, and people don't mind getting fucked over....
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    No shit. That's what makes it a strawman argument, dumbarse.

    Have you ever thought about starting up a psychic medium service?.

    You really are quite good at coming up with bullshit conclusions based on fuck all information.

    You know the risks, take them or don't take them.
    Just don't expect sympathy or for a good argument to excuse you from repercussions.
    You might experience some discretion but it's not a given.

    Bullshit? You're good at talking it, but not so good at detecting it...

    If you'd like to show what I said was bullshit go ahead, but I think we both know it'll be just like that 3 second speedo check you were pissing on about before.

    We do get out and about. A most excellent after-breakfast ride to Paekak and back for me, in the late morning after waking up.

    OTOH, many of us also work weird shifts :-) when we can't ride, need to be contactable, but can access the intertubes b4 and after duty.
