look, I'll put it this way,
You travelling down a street with an x speed limit doing xx klm's and a child runs out on the road, you cannot pull the car up ontime and hit the child.
It is a known and Documented fact that it takes longer to stop a vehicle the faster it is moving no matter how good a driver you are..
How about you go away and think about a few things yourself and do some proper research, no just that that intrests you and "sort of" backs your point of view.

Speed limits are set down for a reason, abide by them or get the fuck off the road.

As for the revenue raised from fines. where do you think that the fucking government gets their money from... what they have their own personal mint out the back that they just used when needed????

Wake up to yourself.

you drive down a road and a child jumps out the road, doesn't matter if you were driving 20km/h - 200km/h the child is dead if you hit it, and if you were paying attention (and wasn't trying to look at your speedo), either you would've swerve, and if you couldn't swerve in time, that means there no time WHATSOEVER to try and slow down, the child is DEAD, which is unless you're travelling < 10km/h... so don't let your emotion take over your analysising skills..

Documented pedestrian accidents all shows no braking response from driver, and most of these pedestrians are drunks which they must be, to jump out the road. And whose parents would let their child play on the roads? You think this is a playground? There's parks and backgrounds to play in, but I think in actual fact there aren't any children killed on the road, which means the parents are doing their job fine... And shows how the media is playing with emotions and childrens to brain wash more people with a minority case.
Having said that, I think the suburban speed limit is doing fine at 50 or 60km/h, a capable/decent driver would've slowed down even to 40km/h if he noticed any pedestrians or children playing around the place anyway, I would've slowed right down if there's any children around the streets, AND IT IS THE PEDESTRIAN's responsibility to be noticed by any passing cars on the road, you don't jump out to the road and expect the driver to stop in time not to hit you. That's called suicide.

so you agree that they are actually raising revenue? If they want to raise revenue, they do it by documented tax, they've got enough tax by fuel tax and GST, not by ripping extra money from fines, by which 95%+ of those penalised were a good driver to start with anyway... If they wanted to rip more tax, just say so, not by using the excuse "Road Safety" while actually compromising road safety!
