The key is anticipation, reading the traffic & being predictable. Time spent staring at the speedo is time lost looking for an unexpected event.

There's the answer Peter. Victorians have to spend all that extra time making sure they are traveling slower than 2Km over the limit that they need that 1.5 secs to refocus and take action.
Is it time for all vehicle to have head-up displays?
Or GPS controlled speed limiters - which can't cope with cross-roads or parallel roads with different limits.
Or better driver education and regular testing.
