“We concluded that drivers’ mental and visual resources were being used up by paying extra attention to the speed monitoring task, and this was taking some of their attention away from the visual world around them when they were driving,” she said.

The weakest "argument" I've ever heard.

If looking at your dashboard is too difficult, hand in your licence - you don't belong on the road.

Weakest counter I've ever heard.

Funny how so-called human factors and attention are an integral part of cockpit design and airline safety these days (as one example), but when it comes to cars we are happy to throw it all away because, good lord, someone might go a few km/h over an arbitrary speed limit.

Nope, why be a good driver and look down the road when you can spend your time monitoring a 50mm long needle for a few degrees of movement on your dashboard.

I have no trouble whatsoever keeping within the speed limit.

Try to focus.

It's nothing to do with me, or attention.

It's about people who shouldn't be on the road.

If you find it so hard to remain within the speed limit ("Oh, I have to look at signs, and the road, and my speedo ... it's all too much"), you don't belong on the road.

Hand in your licence and leave the driving to people who CAN concentrate.
