Speed tolerance reduced for December and January

[scumdog]

Mr R.Cat (or anyone else with respective knowledge) would you happen to know how many lives the speed scam is "predicted to save" each year?

8,000 give or take..

(A sensible answer to a sensible question I always say.....)

[Madness]

I wondered what this XD thing is all about...

2. An internet expression that gets annoying if overused.

Yep, that's the one.

All of them.

All of them.

There are so many factors in a reduced road toll that its not possible to assign any factor as the major contributor.

Multiple factors make it difficult to assign the cause to.

Still, I've had 7 Heinekens, so my comnents are purely bizarre.

You should try something with alcohol in it, I recommend vodka personally

Meh, just find a quiet road and watch out for the sheep...

That is so refreshing to read. Yup, I concur.

By the same token, funding & formulating policies to improve road safety across the board is an enormous & expensive long term endeavor. I find it hard to be to critical of actions like the current 4 kmh tolerance. It causes no serious problems other than speedo fixation & will have an positive effect somewhere, some time for some body.
I would like to see a road safety campaign which stimulates drivers to think about road position, speed, anticipation, conditions etc rather than dictate legal limits.

Meh, it's all moot. What the f%&k do you do with humanity? Somebody will always screw it up.

You get outa the fucking way and let 'em live their own decisions.

Basic human errors are the msin cause ofcroad crashes.

No policy or campaign will change that.

Yup, but I think a lot of folk are ignorant & up to a point, ignorance is curable. 7 Estrella Damm the noo. Not a keyboard frienmdly beer.

If by "Basic human errors msin cause ofcroad crashes" you mean: Basic human errors are the main cause of road crashes, these guys don't agree: http://www.visualexpert.com/Resource...accidents.html

No doubt lower overall speeds will drop the number of accidents somewhat

That's one possibility. However I think the following is more likely:

Lower overall speed = more distracted drivers = more accidents.

Well just had a camera van ping my for 5 over, so $30 in the coffers, but no points...and no crashes

It's recklessly speeding motorcyclists like you that give all of us a bad name. I bet you're a bloody menace on the road.
