Nitpick: Moving your eyes to look at a speedometer is a conscious muscle movement, not a saccade. Saccades are involuntary, automatic and not consciously felt; they're the sensory system's way of automatically building up the visual "scene" in your brain from multiple images even though you feel like your gaze is fixed on a single point. You can't focus on the road and read the speedometer from your peripheral vision.

In the back of my mind, I knew there was was a "this is not technically a saccade" situation but couldn't remember why. Thanks for the clarification.
