You mean you can't tell how fast you are going without a speedometer???
Holy ****, it's scary as Hell to know that I'm sharing the road with

Got news for you;I'm an experienced electronic technician with microwave
training,experienced in use of spectrum analyzers and mW power measuring
meters,and have worked on HF electronics since I was a teenager.
AND,I know what a Gunn oscillator is,and how they work.

Well,that IS the way most people drive these days! ;-)

Different cars have a different driving feel,and one can be going
deceptively fast and not realize it in some cars,while in others,it can
feel too fast when you're actually going slower than other traffic.Some
cars/SUVs insulate one from the road very well,perhaps too well.Without a
speedo to give you an initial idea of the vehicle's speed,you only have
other traffic as a reference.If you're alone,that reference is gone.

Speed by itself does not kill,it's the sudden stop that does.
Which comes from other causes.

Wouldn't that be your navigator or co-pilot? 8-)

You need a speedometer for that?!? C'mon . . . -Dave

When you approach a 4-way stop at an intersection in the middle of nowhere at
midnight on a full-moon night with clear visibility half a mile in every
direction, is it REALLY a sin to make a California rolling stop rather than
the full stop prescribed by law? Most laws that prevent us from doing
perfectly rational things were devised by and/or for people who are not
capable of being rational.

As always, people come up with unfounded reasons as to what they think
is the reasoning behind a given law. As I've posted before, most stop
signs could be replaced by yield signs. In Europe, stops signs are
relatively rare.

It would make much more sense to not issue a license to people who
cannot act rationally.

how long does it take most people to glance at their speedometer? i use it
as reference all the time when heading onto an offramp with a turn obscured
by a bridge, a grade, or darkness. i rekon i can see in a split second what
my current speed is as i decelerate, and i check that against the advisory
speed limit.
