Merudo Forums Junkie Location: Central Coast, NSW Registered: February 2005	Re: Need Legal Advice Wed, 15 June 2005 01:09 86tt wrote on Wed, 15 June 2005 10:32 back to the point about responsibility to the driver, I give you an example, I used to be able to drive where I'll just know/feel that I'm driving at 60km/h, and don't have to look at the speedo and I'm 95% very accurate, and when there's traffic, I'll just go with the flow of the traffic. Since the speed enforcement comes in, I can't risk not to look at the speedo, I'll get my eyes looking at the roads ahead, checking for hazards, checking side roads, driveway, right hand side streets where people can bolt out, rear mirror, checking for traffic on left and right lanes, making sure I notice people that change lanes when their lane ends, or when they have cars turning right when they will just change to your lane, checking blind spots, making sure I leave enough buffer on the left, right front and back... Then the hard bit comes in, I have to try to read the speed, get my eyes adjusted to the different light condition, get it to "focus" which takes 1/2 a second at least, then read and confirm the speed, which takes another 1/2 second, then when I look back to the traffic in front, it'll take my eyes to focus again which takes another 1/2 second, that's almost 1.5 seconds that I haven't been looking at the traffic, at 60km/h, this is like having an extra 1.5 seconds reaction time, what does this equate to blood alcohol level? 0.08? Speed limits and speedos should only be used as an indicator, posted speed limits should be useful and accurate to assist new drivers, but when it's enforced blindly, it causes chaos, accidents, confusion, and mostly breakdown of the police-public relations and respect. Why haven't the road toll rate gone down although emergency and medical treatment and car safety have improved so much over the last decades and a half? indeed. [Report message to a moderator]
