This can't be possible

[Drew]

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

Then there is this

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.

Strawman Alert!

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

For what its worth......

buying Into this whole over anal speed obsession is only for arseholes....
wether you think you are shithot and can check your speedo in point 3 of a sec,
3 sec or a whole fuckin month.....

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE POLICED LIKE THAT......
and even more unacceptable to become accustomed to it and accept it.....

broaden your horizon and travel a bit....
And no....Australia doesn't count.....
their policing regiment is equaly wrong and failing

[awayatc]

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....

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.

[scumdog]

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.

Haha! Love it!

Now about this wife of yours...

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.

[Big Dog]

I might dally on speed limits, I don't fancy being in a remake of the John Wayne Bobbet story.

My God ... How many pages - how many posts - how many hours of bullshit arguing over HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHECK A SPEEDO !!!!

YOU PEOPLE NMEED TO GET OUT MORE

(I can see rather a lot of bikes sitting in sheds feeling neglected ...)

[RDJ]

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.

Coprophagy & other such breakfast choices of mention, while likely pathological.. aint my idea of a hearty start..
