Nice mate. If I ever need legal counsel I'll give you a tingle.

I'm guessing that it was only a minor speed, hence talking about the 10% tolerance?

Nah, long story but I was pulled over and booked for allegedly travelling in excess of 20 over the speed limit in an 80 zone and for not indicating. I argued with him on the day as he was wrong. I received fines 2 weeks later for the non indication and for speeding in a 60 zone on a road that I actually never travelled on which was a different road to that he pulled me over on.

Anyway, the court ruled in favour of me. #legaleagle

Car speedometers are actually set slower than normal. It depends on the car, but please don't speed up thinking you're sweet.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

I'm glad to hear I'm not crazy. I've tried explaining to people that I've noticed a 10km difference between my speedo and the Navman. No one's believed me.

These are the results of testing. When the speedo shows 100km/h the actual speed must be less by law.

My hilux's speedo is 10km slower than what you are actually going. I've been stopped 3 times and fined twice, you just forget. Apparently because my tyres are 175 it tricks the odometer.

The sudden increase in homosexual partner options in video games. Is it just appeasing to the Gay and Lesbian alliance for some reason? Is there a market for this sort of thing? I'm not buying a game just so I can bang another dude and neither are my mates, at least I hope not.

I am not really into video games but I am genuinely interested to know what game has dudes banging dudes as a central plot line. FIFA 2015 perhaps?

Over the years in games there's been opportunities to chat up the opposite sex in the story especially in RPGs, there's always been a handful that have allowed you to chat up both though.
