    You're quicker at changing your posts than you are at checking your speedo eh?
    Nope just quicker at dumbing it down than you are at replying lol.....

    I think you overdid it then (and since you probably won't get this for a while, what I mean was you applied too much 'dumb' to your posts; which would explain how moronic they are)

    Also evidenced by you taking 12 minutes to come up with that 'gem'

    I just find it hard to be Emotionally effected by the words typed on a screen from people I don't even know.

    Unlike some on this forum.

    Life must be pretty bad if you do.

    You'll probably start posting excessive smileys.

    Just sharing an observation. I wouldn't expect you to stop being a fuckwit due to reading a post on an Internet forum from a stranger. That would be stupid.

    You say that, but you keep having two or more goes at each post, it's almost like your first attempt is emotionally charged or something...

    And given your inability to take on common sense and logic, perhaps the word emotionally is redundant

    Having just wasted a small part of my life reading the preceding three pages, I have come to one conclusion.

    Three seconds is actually the amount of warning you should give with the indicators before turning. Experience suggests that very few people have any idea what three seconds duration is like.

    One is supposed to glance at the speedo, rev counter, or whatever, not stare at it. Three seconds is staring whatever the circumstances.
    If you need three seconds? "Should've gone to Specsavers".

    Nobody has explained WHY it is so important to have that needle exactly at one very precise location all the time.....

    mind you only in NZ and Oz is this considered to be so utterly important that nothing else matters on the road...as long as that needle is in the correct spot...

    our driving skills are overall piss poor.....
    but that doesn't matter, the only skill needed is to stay on the speed limit...

    Worst is that it gets hammered so hard, that people start regurgitating it,....
    even here on KB.
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    That's the ticket, abandon what you were on about and take another stab.

    I have admitted that speeding doesn't bother me. Many many times advocated formal driver training being mandatory. The fact that people admit they can't accurately moderate their speed though, is indicative that they're shit drivers.

    Strawman Alert!

    But it's good to see you've taken on board the ridiculousness of a 3 second speedo check.

    Quite simply, it's only important if the individual begrudges paying speeding fines.

    It's like cheating on your wife.
    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.

    Regardless of the length of time y'all feel it SHOULD take to check and process and act on speedo info, this court exchange between a LEO and a lawyer is pretty much priceless

    If you think either of those links support your '3 seconds to process speedo info' theory you're a bigger moron than I ever imagined.
