It's official - there are some heinous drivers out there

[T.W.R]

So how fast should be able to speed before you get a ticket?

Well how fast do you normally travel on the road? and your question is like asking why do you need the use of a latest edition race replica for a roadbike?
And there's plenty here who consistantly travel in excess of posted limit signs
It isn't and wasn't about that side of the issue..... as a measure at that point in time the discretion was 11% over the limit according to the radar but how accurate was the radar? how long since it'd be checked for calibration etc and when there are only 2 vehicles as far as the eye could see on that particular piece of dead straight road a flash of the lights or a slow down wave would have been more suitable instead of a addition to his daily revenue collection quota. There's a difference between minor indiscretions and blatant disrepect for the law

Here's a concept. No speed limit. You're the rider/driver, you decide how fast you should go. But if you are careless, reckless or dangerous, in the opinion of the state official concerned with abserving and admonishing such behavior then you get to argue your case in front of a neutral third party. You know, like we used to have before it became about "infringements" and "quotas" and all that shit.

I was looking at it the other way but I get what you mean. I have had a few times when the lights have been flashed or the finger waved so i do think it comes down to the cop at the time.

Wow, chaos on our roads.

Yeah, I can see that working.

Well, the standard of driving would improve. Once the incapable were 'removed'.

[Katman]

Once the incapable were 'removed'.

Along with the innocent?

[FJRider]

Too often the incapable remain ... but take out the innocent ....

[MSTRS:Me]

No matter what one does, there's ALWAYS a downside...

[FJRider]

No matter what one does, there's ALWAYS a downside...

Would you still call it "a downside" if you were "the innocent" one ... ????

[MSTRS:Me]

That depends...doesn't it?

[Katman]

Actually, that's true.

I can think of a few 'Upsides'.

What? No-one left to argue with you , on a logical basis, instead of pure emotionally charged retaliation? Assuming, of course, that you are spared from being one of the innocent...

What makes me chuckle is you all blame the rozza for enforcing the road code. Well that's their job and if the twits were not out there pushing the envelope on the roads there would be more cops available for the other rozza duties. If anybody has a problem take it up with the Goverment specifically the Minister of Police (and give them a laugh).

Personally I would not ever like to see the speed limit go any higher than 100kph. There are enough morons out there on the road who can not safely drive at 100 without making it any worse.

Buy a bike with cruise control.

...and what about 50km zones? do we raise the limit or just give out tickets for 55km.

It is interesting that Queensland has 60kmh areas around residential housing areas where we have 50kmh.

Either their vehicles have better brakes or their drivers are licenced through tougher processes' and get decent training...

Freeways are 110.

John, I'm shocked!

I've never seen you as one of the 'Upsides'.
