Only 5% of drivers who crash were breaking the speed limit

No, the point I was making was....

Your speedo says you are doing 30, but the camera flashes you doing say 33.

Has anybody ever fought and won a case when they showed that their only means of gauging their speed was giving them incorrect readings. Are there any routine checks on your speedo accuracy?

GPS gives my spedo +/- 1mph.

You have to admit though if all speed limits were reduced to zero and rigorously enforced, the number of accidents would fall dramatically.

I believe that will be the end result of the current Government's Transport Policy.

If you ar flicking your eyes down at the speedo every 10 secs then you are a bad driver.

Makes you a good instrument pilot doing your T-scan though:

Attitude indicator—wings level, pitch level
Altimeter
Attitude indicator
Heading indicator—right on heading
Attitude indicator—maintain wings level
Altimeter
Attitude indicator
Airspeed indicator—as desired

etc

Try doing that off autopilot, on an SRA to capture the ILS for runway 08 in IMC... and use the radio to ATC as well. And in the chop.

Looking at your speedo while munching a big mac is childsplay...

Totally agree with that as I have a PPL. However when I fly I don’t get some Folker a metre away on my tail, and another Folker cutting in during heavy traffic.

Never mind that. What I need to know is were either of the Fokkers in a Cessena ??
