    And a full faced helmet as well.....

    Hmm,now speed limits,they dropped the speeds here on the M1,for the Comm games,100k went to 90,110 went to 100.
    They recon accidents have dropped by half,maybe they will leave them like that.

    Didn't help me,pic came in the mail

    The 100 zone that has been 100km/hr for the last 40yrs,is now 90,i travel it all the time.
    Brain still thinks its 100km/hr,so pic says 100Km/h
    Late at night,not another vehicle on the road and i get pinged,first speeding ticket since '84.....

    Having a good field of view is one thing, having the appropriate level of alertness and training to process the visual inputs in time to avoid prangs is another thing entirely.

    A clean windscreen and eyeglasses if you wear them are a good idea too. Even mildly greasy or smeared windows to the world can have a negative effect on what you see or don’t see.
