birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.Yep, and you still don't know whether you're going a 4 or 5 mph....unless your body tells you. Does your vehicle 'feel' like it's going...

birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.That's a near doubling of speed - from 20 to 25 in a vehicle is barely noticeable.....unless that's your main focus.

birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.Simply untrue, sadly. The 5 mph is barely noticeable and easily exceeded, as all experienced drivers know. To use a walking comparison...

birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.Thank you...so it gives you an average, not at which points you were a bit faster or slower. Hell, you may have been positively moosing...

Unless you put pressure on the accelerator, a quick acceleration from 20 to 25 is not going to happen unless there’s a problem with the...
