If our drivers were smarter, we wouldn't need speedometers at all. Nobody thinks "I'm going too fast" then looks at the speedometer and decides "Oh, my speed is fine".
Drivers who want to go fast will go fast - for them the gauge is only useful so they can slow down for speed traps.
Not having a speedometer shouldn't make a sensible driver suddenly very dangerous at all.

- sp00ls 8y agoWhy not? Do you think any sensible driver would overshoot/undershoot their speed by any meaningful amount without noticing? Like without a speedometer everyone would just accidentally go 100mph everywhere or something?
- shocks 8y ago> of course. Any sensible driver will not drive the car without a speedometer. I think you missed the point of my comment entirely. Knowing your speed is not required to be safe while driving - being observant, correctly signaling, and driving at a speed appropriate for the conditions are.
