Shraka Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: November 2003	Re: Do you find it mentaly fatigues you to stick to the speed limit???? Mon, 15 August 2005 14:50 There are actualy studies done (some in america) showing that driving 'at the speed limit' on roads that have their limits posted to low (which from some stuff I have read is allmost all of them in australia) is actualy bad for focus and concentration, and statisticaly, causes accidents. Victoria is the only place in the world where the road fatality statistics showed a drop from the trend for the year that speed cameras where introduced. Road fatalities have gone up in a few countries after speed camera introduction (this is odd, 'cuz as a general rule, road fatalities go down with better cars, roads, driver education etc). Some states in America pointed to our statistics to help support their policy of introducing speed camreas, 'cuz they couldn't point anywhere else, 'cuz it would look bad for them. To lower accidents you need to educate people on good driving, not legislate against speeding. I'm shocked to see how many people speed, and by rather a lot, in the dark, wet, or other low visibility or low traction environments (usualy people in fords and commodores). Anyway, yes. Driving at a speed that seems overly slow does bore me to tears and make me lose my concentration. I've heard some people bitch at me that this makes me a bad driver. I say no, I can just feel it happening and you can't. I get the impression that these people telling me they don't get distracted when driving at the limit, actualy NEVER focus as much as I do. I'd wager they are permenantly at the state of concentration that starts to scare me. Anyhoo, my 2c. [Report message to a moderator]
