My point was that as drivers we should be focussing on VMG and not speed, add that to the fact that Joe average takes about 1.5 seconds to react and then it is important. There would not be too many of us that did not have a tape measure, or who may have wondered about the distance between white lines on the road, who have an idea of the width of the average house block or who have never stood at the end of a 22 metre cricket pitch! Speed is not the issue, it is what we do with it.
