Shraka Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: November 2003	Re: 130km/h speedo limit sought Wed, 10 November 2004 22:58 I've read (and this may not be true) that more than half of accidents happen in rural areas. The reasons for this are that people in such areas travel long distances, in bad lighting conditions, with no runoff on the roads (trees right on the curb in some areas) and on rough roads. These accidents happen at or below the speed limit. I also read on a Victorian website that ~20% of accidents involve speed. I think thats pritty good as when I drive I think more than 60% of road users speed. Think about that for a bit. Driving in a straight line isn't difficult. The problems start to happen when people don't slow down around intersections and the like. Speed limits obviously wont fix this. Only driver skill will. As for speedos set to 130, I don't care. Limiting the car to 130 though... thats another story. But yes, as has been said, the govornment doesn't want to stop you speeding. It just wants to catch you doing it so it can make money. Otherwise why would they charge you money for an offence? It's demented! I would have a lot more respect for the govornments road rules if they just put a $20 admin fee on all fines, and just deducted points. Although, I also think that the current law enforcement is far too strict and the whole system is fairly jenky. [Report message to a moderator]
