We have been told many times that speed cameras cause accidents because drivers are concentrating on the speedometer rather than the road.

Why did cars ever have rev counters. I never look at mine and have no
idea what an appropriate rev reading is.
I often check mine to see if I am in 4th/5th or 6th gear at ~60mph as my engine is so quiet and I like to be in 6th gear whilst doing 50mph.
