I disagree..some of the rules make no sense...like the 3 sec indicate and move rule....even the 2 sec rule is hard to work out...cannot be that hot a guide judging by driving standards

At night maybe...so if I am stupid but I find I am seen more then I will accept that and no tickets so far....

What do you disagree with? Now you are saying 'rules' instead of guide. Rule = law. And what is hard to understand about the 2sec rule etc...can't you count? Where is it written that laws mean standards will be high? Are you saying that because people kill others then the law about not killing is not very good?
You, sir, are a most contradictory chap.

It's all a load of cobblers! skiddy can stop a zxr from 60kph in 2 meters, we should learn from him. I'm not going to tell people to do 110kph, that my friends is silly, you will die! SINNER! SATANS REBEL SON! THOU SHALT NOT DO 109.9999KPH
YOU WILL HIT A TREE!!!!!

I'm fucked then

Actually, to be a pedantic prick once again, the 2 second rule is only a guide. The rule is here. The following distances are at least 40% greater (in some cases 70%) under the 2 second guide than is actually required.

I say again, what is difficult about the 2 second rule. When I learned to ride/drive...it was 1 car length per 10mph. What size car? What if you had no depth perception?

So, as an outsider, traffic on the motorway generally travels at 10mph!
