Exactly. Most crashes are less than 30km/h. And as you said, due to not paying attention. Especially at roundabouts and other things like driveways and turn lefts. People are watching to their right instead of whats going on infront. And even at such a low speed, it's damn easy to write a car off.

I don't think these are the kinds of situations they are targeting. Also someone said about lower speed limits not helping, I don't think it's the people obeying the speed limits who are causing all that many speed-related accidents. I think it's targetted at 18-25 year olds who have either won lottery, or borrowed their dads car.

I'm against about everything else the government do, but I think that speed limiting cars is a good idea. It doesn't really restrict enthusiests, but will slow down the hoons. That said, if they limit cars to 180, then hoons are still going way too fast. Really they'd have to slow them down to 140, or lower, to make a difference, which prolly isn't going to happen.

Yea, I went off on a tangent there. But yes, I would support a speed limited compulsory car for those in that age bracket, because I've been there myself. Wink

You don't need to go 130+ to deliver pizza. But even a 130km/h speed is still too fast for those types of people you mentioned. And suddenly if they want to go fast, they'll have to take themselves to the track like they should.

But along with that as well, the insurance companies will have to change their policies so little johnny can't take his dads' V8 commonwhore for a spin. Smile

Also maybe bringing in that 25+ sticker on cars would also be compulsory.

You'd be assured that it would be incorporated into the compliancing process for sure if it was passed that every car had to be limited. Suddenly that makes that import that much more expensive and involves you no matter what.
