For an accident to happen (even on a corner) ... someone has failed to keep left (TURN) Do you believe that the speed that rider/driver entered the corner would be of little importance to the end result of "somebody" being on the wrong side of the road ... ????

Perhaps there are more corners than straights ... so the odds of "accidents" happening on corners would be greater .... which is shown in the statistics ...

It would increase aggro level when a previous 20 km's over the limit ticket becomes a 28 day instant walking ticket. With a possible 3 months walking followed ... after the court case. After how many of one of those tickets ... would YOU slow down ... ???

If they are traveling UNDER the speed limit ... and riding with all due care ... THEY are safer to have on that road that some dick on a sport bike 40 km's over the speed limit ... whatever it is ...
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
