Do you get points on your licence when caught by cameras? (I don't know as I'm not sad enough to speed all the time, or any of the time for that matter). If so, you would lose your licence for a while eventually, so that would surely stop you from speeding?
You would be amazed at the number who lose licence for drink driving und then continue to do so after serving out the ban.
Und what if the driver was banned for 5 pings at 34 mph? Road surfaces, size und choice of tyre all impact on speed und perception of this speed. You cannot discerm between 29 mph und 33 mph as you are humna being with human foot und nerve cells.
You try my yoga - ahave the tree pose.... I can acutally hold this without a waiver for a good five minutes - but am trained ice skater und ski-er from age two. (und even in the medal routines - they are not holding these for long as long free programme ist 4 und bit minutes
)
But your body cannot hold und will fluctuate its pressure - und this ist why I can get away with saying you are not being honest with yourself if you say you never speed or always discern the slight change.
Ist this slight change in tempo at wrong moment und if you were so confident - you would not be glancing at speedo every 10 seconds. I do not need to - have useful gaadget on dash... I set to alert me if overspeed und if in serious infest area - cruise control ist switched on.

So in other words, we have ANOTHER 'driver' who can't even maintain a constant, steady speed...
You shouldn't be driving, or you're lying, because nobody is that incompetent. Checking the speedo every few seconds doesn't "require a large amount of attention" unless you're incredibly slow witted? Which are you?
Elsewhere you say you check speedo every 10 seconds. As said - truly comptetently should not need to - can "feel" speed to certain level.
have fair idea of my speed at any one time - am usually within 10% range on urbans. Only time I glance ist to make doubly sure no creep up to danger level near the scam... und in soem areas here - you are on top of them as soon as you leave the higher limit. Ist then why useful gadget giving that early "bleep bleep" ensure the smoothest slow from 60 to 40 as passing the lolly.

Can't you hear the engine and tell when you're speeding up or slowing down?
Most modern well brought up cars are smooth und sleeky sound.. it does not show. Especially in these insulated machines.. with the leather seats und all the trimming.

Can't you see the surroundings moving past you at a different speed, and then know that you should check your speedo to see if you're now going any faster or slower?
Some of the roads in our area switch drasticaally from 40 to 60 mph und for mere yards too...
But let us face facts.. a lot of these pings are occurring close to limit changes - und we have lots of photos of mobiles und fixed at these points und on gradual gradients where a driver will pick up speed without noting it particularly.

Still, it's a nice try at bait and switch again: "I can't check my speedo because I'm too busy 'concentrating'". I really believe that - NOT.
You don't check your speedo because you don't CARE what the speed limit, you think YOU should be able to make up your own rules.
You are still scared of something or not feeling speed if you really need to check every 10 seconds
We use COAST - und I sugggest you look up how IG spell it out.

Although it would be possible to drive well below the limit (eg 15 in a 30), this is likely to be illegal, embrarassing, and likely to raise other questions.
Strawman. What has this got to do with anything?[/quote]
That you are not considering others or are perhaps not fit to drive...

Could it be possible that they are selfish, aggressive, nasty people who think the world revolves around them?
That's certainly the impression I've got from the 10,000 plus speeders I've encountered in my lifetime, as they zoom up to my rear and I see their faces full of anger and frustration in my rear view mirror.
Pardon me for not going over the speed limit just because THEY'RE in a hurry!
That isn't speeding, it's tailgaiting, and I agree with you about it.
It IS speeding, because if they weren't speeding, they would never have caught up with my car, which always stays right ON the speed limit...
Do I have to explain everything?
As pointed out already - it does depend on your driving und your own observation of these limits.
I do not know if you are driving at 40 mph in a 50.60 mph - but it would certainly accoutn for their cathching you up
Und if you drive at 25 mph... I once drove a pal's Cavalier to garage. She was ill - drove it on my insurance perk which allow me to drive on third party.
Ist a 11 year old car - good condition. Speedo read 30 mph - felt slow to me - but stayed at 30 mph. Mad Doc had followed me in his car und ask me what was so wrong with the car as had to drive it at 22 mph.
We mention to garage - but would mena new speedo und they could not guarantee as this ist "non computerised doo-dahed car. Pal had one fit later - seems OK now und she has useful gadget on dash as back up..
But we did take this car on track... per the RA - was 8 mph difference on speedo rising to 15 mph at high speeds - when speedo read 80 mph - car was travelling 65 mph. ....
Ist possible then that your car may be doing this.
