Do you find it mentaly fatigues you to stick to the speed limit???? Tue, 09 August 2005 14:11 Go to previous message
Normally when I drive (just trying to get somewhere not race or sho off) , If I know the road and am sure there will be no cops, I drive along at what I consider to be a safe speed (this doesn't usually inlove much looking at the speedo more just letting the car do it's thing with a quick glance at the speedo when entering a corner to make sure I'm not underestimating the speed. If I catch up to another car I will wait until a good opportunity, hanging reasonably far back (I have always believed banzai overtaking moves on public roads is asking for a head on)

When I drive like this I can pretty much drive all day without feeing like I'm going "spacey"

Recently I drove on a trip where I knew there would be high police presence and double demerits. Before I set off I made a decision to try to stick completely to to speed limit at all times (something I'd not done since I was on my p's)

I found that it actualy took a lot of concentration to make sure you NEVER exeed 103km'h while still maintaining speed uphills without having to drop back to 4th all the time....If you're prepared to go 110 you can stay in 5th the whole time without a prob but if you stick to 100 you will be picking 4th up every hill to avoid being tailgated by the Auto falcadore behind you. Even if a car is doing as low as 85km'h in a 100 zone you will still be forced to exeed 100 to get around them in most places.

After 2 hours of driving, my eyes were tired and I was finding it hard to concentrate.

I've been driving about 6 1/2 years with no accidents but I reckon if I lived somewhere where I had to stare at the speedo the whole time I would have had a few by now.

What the hell do you city guys do? do you just drive normally and take the fines or do you all drive around in a state of constant paranoia, keeping your cars in 2nd gear so it's harder to speed?
