Could be handy if you hit the back of something or wipe out and the cops think you were speeding.

Instantly you get off the speed.


How accurate are the cops at doing it anyway?

My wifes brother drove her parents car into a pole.
Lost it on a bend and slid straiaght into a pole between the headlights har enough for it to crack the engine block and insurance had to fit a new motor. ( 6 month old nz new corolla)

The cops measured it out and said,
" from our calculations he was doing less than 50 kph"

Ah really.

if you hit some one up the rear, you are always in the wrong
your supposed to follow at a distance that you can stop in time, no matter WHAT happens

Not always true - if there are witnesses that determine otherwise then well you're screwed. But 99% of the time it's the car behind that gets the blame
