Perth drivers and the freeway.

When people drive slowly onto the freeway and are doing 80 when they should be doing 100

Not true. It's 60 until you get past the 80 sign. Past the 100 sign, the lower limit is 80.

But you have to remember, first and foremost is that 100 is the upper limit. Anyone doing at least 80 is legal. Safe or not is a different matter.
I can only do 80 on my daily stretch on the freeway.
Sad, but legal.
Sorry if it makes you 3 seconds late.







Hang on. No I'm not.

If you drive at 80 in a 100 zone you're either an idiot, a learner driver (in NSW, maybe other states) or are just so plain arrogant that you think all others should wait for you to tootle to work. As Doggie said you can't safely merge into a highway where everyone is doing 100+ at 80km/h, everyone on the highway has to slow down, you also inevitably also slow down; all it causes is a cluster****, highway congestion and angry motorists...bad combination.

Is this 80 'lower limit' a WA thing? I've never heard of it before in NSW but I can guarantee that all you'll achieve by doing it is piss a whole lot of people off. Why would you want to anyway? Genuine question.

I'd prefer not to but the freeway was cut where I'd normally have driven and to avoid it is a major run-around. Anyway, no merging nor congestion concerns with my example. Anyone who'd get pissed off would if the wind changed anyway.

We really do live in the post-education era.

It is George Orwell's 1984 "New Speak".

Our young people ARE being dumbed down.

The spelling and grammar used on the forum proves that the program has been effective for some considerable years to date.

The younger ones would probably foo foo those that express them selves in concise language as being "old fuddie duddies", which proves the point.

As does "spell check".

Gift vouchers.

WTF??? Just give me the money instead of forcing to buy from some stupid store I never go to.

BTW Australian design rules specify that the allowable error for a speedo is 10% + 4km/h ( rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/files/ADR%201803.pdf page 15). Manufacturers can make speedos much more accurate but tyre pressures and age etc introduce inaccuracy. So they don't get sued they deliberately calibrate an error of 5% +2km/h into the speedo "as being the mid point in the allowable range". So anybody sitting on 100 will actually be doing 93).

Virtually all cars that I've been in with GPS in them they seem to match the speedo without much error. So are you also saying that GPS is not accurate?

No. GPS is quite accurate, which is part of the problem.

If your results are different then you've either been lucky, or not checked enough cars.

My experience over the past 20 years was that all cars had an error of around 4%. So that to do 100 kph you have the speedo on 104. All the cars I have owned were very close to this. I could do a random comparison by slowing to match speeds with cars on the freeway and find they were doing 100 on the speedo but around 96 by the GPS. At 60kph the difference between GPS and speedo was negligible. This leads me to believe that the 4% figure at 100kph used to be a standard.

I have done my checks using up to 3 GPS at a time. The GPS were all within 1 kph of each other (different brands, types, purposes and one built-in car system)

I bought a new car last year and the difference was much greater and applied at all speeds. So to do 60kph I have to drive about 65 and to do 100 kph I do about 107. That is when I read about the ADR. The 5% +2 thing comes from car owners forums, and a phone call to the Subaru dealer, so I cannot vouch for the accuracy of that.

The problem with people driving off their GPS is you get law abiding people doing 100 by their speedo and other law abiding people doing 100 by their GPS which is 5-7kph faster. If the speedo people and the GPS people start to get a little grumpy then you get road rage.

Here's a related issue, the odometer and the speedometer on my car are calibrated separately. If you travel at exactly 110 kph for exactly one hour then the odometer only shows 104km travelled. The manufacturer has to have an accurate odometer reader so they can give km based warranties. You could sue them for fraud if the odometer read high and they tried to reject a warranty claim based on km travelled.

WA drivers who dont get the idea of merging on the freeway.

Freeway has a number of spots that merge two lanes down to one.

Should be a sign up at least 500m or more back saying choose your merging partner now and be illegal to move in front of car in next lane.

Dumb ----s dont get that two cant go into one and it causes everything to stop.

If every learnt to merge traffic would slow stop.
