Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 16/09/13 05:14 AM Share Posted 16/09/13 05:14 AM It's also worth noting that a sh*tload of oz's roads aren't fit for 110kmh.. Sure the big federal funded bastards (M1 etc) might be suitable for vehicles to go faster on.. But the traffic volumes make it unlikely.. PS speeding fines get reinvested in the road network.. So while you pricks are getting booked I'm getting paid.. I vote keep them how they are :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 7m 17d Posted 16/09/13 06:43 AM Share Posted 16/09/13 06:43 AM (edited) like my place.2 lane country road in the middle of nowhere (maybe 6 cars an hour and 1 drive way every 1 km).3 fatalities in the last 4 years. 1 was in the rain going way to fast (120+) and missed a corner and drowned in a creek. other was a motorcycle t boned at an intersection other was a drunk driver.in the 5 years preceding that the speed limit was droped from 90 to 80 then to 70. didnt do anything to save these poor buggers, but..... people now overtake the jerks that do 65 on this road that should be at least 80 and probably back to 90.the rta did a survey and something like 78% of divers on this stretch of rd exceeded the speed limit by more than 10kmph - their responce was to have a cop hide in the bushed for a few months. All the numpty's that drive at 80 got fined because they were just driving at what they thought was an appropriate speed (which they were) and the true speed demons never got fined because they new where the cops hide.end result - more $$$ for govt, more people driveing 65 in what should be a 80-90 zone and more dangerous overtaking and tailgating.
