I haz a bieks :D
I blame scaremongering, shitty road conditions and inadequate driver skills, bikers also.
The amount of times I've come up behind a car in a 100 zone, with an indicated 80 bend, and had to slow all the way down to 40 just for them, is amazing.
There is such a thing as too cautious.
Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

Meh, couple of percent? The increase in yellow paint would be responsible for more than that. By the time I find a passing lane I'm having to fucking pin it just to manage reasonable averages.
Y'know, I'm gettin fucking sick of all the bullshit. In countries where there's little or no restrictions on driving behaviour the carnage is... fucking near identical to here. When they stop inventing shit to suit their own agenda and start asking us what we want I'll start listening to them, and not until.

And what countries are those?
<<----- My dream bike.
"Last year 137 people were killed and 2631 people were injured in speed-related crashes.
There were 830 crashes – about 16 a week – where a driver was speeding in urban areas and someone was injured or killed."
I would really like to know the numbers in here which involve people going between 5-10kms over the limit. I reckon it's probably a tiny percentage, like around 10%. They'd never release that with the numbers though because that would put a big stink on the whole public holiday revenue collection weekends.

I'm tempted to say Italy. Certainly big chunks of Asia, including China. A visit to Shanghai is a real education.
Guess the point is that people behave on the road according to their own perception of risk, and legislation to the contrary simply has very little effect other than beefing up the consolidated fund
So rather that wasting time trying to re-engineer humanity why not spend it re-engineering the environment? Cost issues aside.
Or not, I really dont give a fuck if I take the Buell or the KTM, just fuck off and let nature take its course, eh?

I would suggest that of the countries you have mentioned that China does not have the systems in place to make accurate measures as we do in NZ.

It's likely to be equally as efficient at massaging what few figures it has to suit the political aims of its leadership.
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

And what a superb use of our road tax dollars that is.....
