A Sight For Sore Eyes

[GTR-N1]

2:06pm yesterday westbound along the M4 all the way to Northern Rd...

Highway Patrol Copper turning on siren/lights at every single lane hog in lane 3, and herding them back into lane 2.

From behind, us motorists could read the moving text saying, "Keep Left Unless Passing"

What a sight for sore eyes!

[Yo-Yo]

Good on him!

I commute on the M4 everyday & the amount of dopey dawdlers I see in lane 3 is shocking, I don't even speed & they slowly disappear in my mirrors. Little wonder there's so much traffic.

That & everyone goes derp & bottlenecks at the joining lanes

Need more of those police on the motorways. Was doing 80 km/h in the right lane this evening stuck behind a big line of cars. What a joke.

[GTR-N1]

PJ and Ravi, he would have turned his siren/lights on 5x in that 20Km+ stretch - 1 car behind me and 4 in front.

About six of us drivers stayed some ways back but keeping pace due to our inquisitiveness.

I hope this is a directive from a superintendent so there's more of this to come!

I've seen this happen before. Definitely made me happy!

I had to flash high beam to try and get this joker in the middle lane on Sunday (M4 westbound). I was very angry. Lol

[Redline_GTR]

Yes very happy to see this.

Have lost count the amount of times I have had the need to overtake someone in the right lane!

So good on em

[gtr jet]

I do the same thing with my light bar

[Brick]

I saw one doing this the other day on the m1, dumb thing was he was doing 90 in the left lane slowing everyone down and forcing slow cars into the right lanes..

Unfortunately half the cars on the road have inaccurate speedo's reading high by 10kph, added to the flat bald tyres they likely have and the speedo could be out by 15%.

Sometimes they actually think they are doing the speed limit.

Don't get me started on your stupid NSW P plate laws...

And this especially

I was reading a drive review of 2 Porsches, a GT3 and a 911 turbo... both out by up to 6km/h under at 100... pretty exxy cars for just poor accuracy. . Pos daily will have no chance

[niZmO_Man]

I have a Subaru so at indicated 100 km/h it be 92-93 on standard tyres lol. Went slightly larger tyre, now about 5km/h slower than indicated, now like the the rest of the cars on the road.

It seems like most car speedos are 5 km/h faster than actual. Funnily enough, Commodores seem to have the most accurate speedos HAHA.

[GTofuS-T]

Perhaps a conspiracy to force people to drive slower?

My soarer and skyline are both spot on with gps, will have to investigate if tyres/wheel combo is what's caused this.

[GTofuS-T]

Oh and my wifes old 98 falcon was 10km under at 110

[niZmO_Man]

My GT-R is now spot on with 275/35/18 tyres

[r32-25t]

All cars read faster then they are actually going from factory, it's engineered into them on purpose

[luke gtr]

and by law, manufacturers are allowed up to 10% variance (under what the gauge is reading).

[GoldZilla]

My Stagea is spot-on with 245/40/18s on it too.

And this is why they tend to do 2 or 3 kph less than the truck can do.

Makes for a long overtake when I try and pass

I had 3 cars and all of them were different, all slower than the limit, going off the GPS/ I knew they were usually under the speedo reading, but by how much ??

I wondered why a couple of time before I had the GPS why I did not get book when I got sprung at 120 in a 110 , put the on a GPS and found out I was doing 110 when the speedo said I was 120, I was a good boy but did not know it

Now I am happy doing the speed limit because most others are going slower, sort of worrying

Every NSW driver knows if you do the speed limit you'll turn into a fireball and crash into a child care centre (yes even if you're on a motorway).

That's why it's safer to do 20 km/h less (so 30-35 km/h actual) in the right lane of motorways.
