Why speedometers haven't been designed to be easier to read while driving. Half the bar in my car is taken up by speeds that almost nobody would ever use. There's as much priority given to showing the difference between 20 and 40 as there is between 120 and 140, which doesn't make any sense to me. There are situations when you need to do 30 or under but with the bar quivering somewhere between 20 and 40 over a thin line you're just guessing, and there's probably no circumstance when someone is wondering whether they're doing 129 or 131. It would be much more useful if that end of the scale was spread out, with 10, 30 and 50 marked with numbers too. It wouldn't be complicated to have it so that less space is taken up at the higher end of the scale, with the indicator having to move bigger distances across the scale at the slower end.
