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. So you agree with the idea, you just have a different PCTS (personal comfortable top speed). Thing is, you reckon 140 is OK, but some dipshit out there is probably going to think 50 is 'as fast as anyone should need to go' because it's their PCTS, and it's people like that that actually get out there and try to get this stuff passed. I reckon train drivers to actually drive, give them experience in various situations at various speeds under controlled (ie. non-fatal when they cock up) conditions, and then they'll be able to choose their own speeds. High speed crashes always get in the paper, but from the statistics they're only a tiny percentage of actual casualties - focus on eliminating the stupid mistakes and people who can't drive, and you'll get results rather than just pissing people off. OTOH, I'd be all for the 130km/h speed limiter if it meant they got rid of posted speed limits and let you do 'up to your speed limiter'... *grins at supra* [Report message to a moderator]
