Oh, but they can. The car manufacturers deliberately add the extra 10%, into the speedo software, so they cannot be sued for the speedo under reading. My analogue shows speed +10%, switch on the digital speed display and it shows the true speed, which agrees perfectly with my satnav..
Your post was a direct assault on my integrity, uncalled for and undeserved.

Its actually in the Construction

True speed cannot exceed indicated speed, but no requirement for indicated speed not to exceed true speed.
they are actually required to.

yeah, you have Himmie's sense of humour too. Give it up, Pat. You're an ex-parrot.He's gone off at great speed.
Emoticons just for you, and anyone else who doesn't realise I'm joking.

Glad that you think that's OK. I don't
And in that situation going slower achieved nothing anyway. The tailgater was still the problem.
You cannot control them, nor stop them hitting you, no matter how much of a gap you have in front of you

It's a sign of their superior knowledge.Your post was a direct assault on my integrity, uncalled for and undeserved.

Oops forgot the
I had to go back about eight years to find a post by Himmie. You must have an excellent memory for their sense of humour, and paid great attention to their posts.
And it's a god job you said parrot, not parakeet.
That might have meant I was not a 'rakee' or an 'arkee' anymore. (parakeet - (ex) pat)
Just in case anyone doesn't realise I'm joking. Which is kind of ironic, since I copied the emoticon from another thread.

Nobody said you could control them. In fact Post #26 #54, #61, #71 and #123 said you are in control of exactly one vehicle, the one you are driving. The fact is you started an argument, just to disagree and now you are backed in to a corner, where you are either having to admit being stupid or dishonest.
What do you think you could do to mitigate the risk of the tailgator rear ending you in the event you have to stop suddenly? Could it be... reduce the need for you to stop suddenly? How might you go about that? Perhaps give yourself more space in front, so that you are less likely to need to stop suddenly?
Nobody is saying tailgaters are not a problem. I myself was first on scene at a fatal motorbike accident and one person was prosecuted for causing the death, despite not being the cause of the accident. Guy on the right, didn't look when changing lanes, hit the motorbike causing him to go down. Guy behind was too close to stop and ran him over - mostly killing him.
That is one of your posts on the subject, which I can fully agree with.
Tailgating is illegal.
www.gov.uk
Caught on camera – 10,000 tailgaters spotted in just two weeks
Almost 10,000 vehicles were caught tailgating in the first two weeks of new cameras being tested to clamp down on the offence.
I disagree, you can to a large extent control the actions of others around you, and help speed up the flow of traffic by your actions on the road. I will usually hang well back from other vehicles, often I deliberately make space for others to pull out or pull into. I've never been one for tearing from one queue, to the next, better to potter along and hit a pinch point just in time to go through. No point in tearing up to a red light, just ease off and trickle up, with minimum use of brakes.
You only have to go back to last year to find Pat-ex. Same old, same old.I had to go back about eight years to find a post by Himmie. You must have an excellent memory for their sense of humour, and paid great attention to their posts.

I can't be expected to remember all the different usenames I've been
And you do realise that you're doing exactly what gnat and Brigadier have been doing this morning, making the topic about me rather than the actual topic of the thread?
