Six people have been taken to hospital after a three-car crash on State Highway 2 near Upper Hutt that closed one lane.
Operation slow down & endanger is coming along nicely

One of those cars was flat.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

*Checks* No fatalities. Some lucky people, there.
Was Haywards/Hutt motorway intersection?

Had a thought today.
All this shit on KB about how unfair it all is sounds a bit like my 15 year old telling me it's not fair that he has to do the dishes.
It makes feck all difference, won't change a thing, and is just so much a waste of time.
Still, I keep hearing how unfair it is, so I guess it'll just keep happening. Coz sure, no degree of KB-ing will change anything.

And here was I thinking you were on here posting an apology plus words to the effect it's all been a big misunderstanding, as you were KBers.
Damn!

Careful, the higher ups frown upon that sort of thing.
Was a time when you posted quite intelligent stuff, alas, this thread has done you no credit. We all know the reduction in speed tolerance is bullshit, will knowing it change anything? probably not, is it a huge disappointment such things are being pushed through anyway? certainly, is it a disappointment cops are towing the line, certainly, is it surprising? no, and that is the biggest disappointment of all.

Get some new cops then, - hell, in four years you could have MY job!!
(BTW, so, since this 'tickets for 104+' came in how many have got a ticket for 105 - 110kph??)

Ah yes, nobody speak out against an unjust law until the degrees of separation bring it too close to home. With straw men arguments like that you guys really don't have a leg to stand on trying to defend this crap do you? If you do, you'll be able to answer this question; how is a long term reduction of the speed limit tolerance to a value lower than the specified speedo accuracy in many vehicles supposed to increase driver safety?

Interested in some research?
Actually read it before commenting.

Scummy, i don't believe that too many tickets will be issued in the 105 to 110 range because i hope that sensible discretion will apply. Having said that, the problem that i have is the govt. media hype in regard to this 4km/h over when there are so many other more serious issues on our roads. This certainly points to revenue collecting. If they were to put the same effort and media coverage on tailgating, red light running, mobile phone use, failing to stop or give way at intersections, driving at dangerous speeds etc. etc. just to name a few then this would give the public more awareness to these issues and may help to prevent some serious accidents or deaths. This would get more attention and respect from me.
Surely you guys who are out on the roads can point this out to the idiots in their little offices who dream up these crazy ideas and think they are saving us from ourselves.
Here's hoping for a sensible outcome on our roads this summer but i won't be holding my breath.

I'm interested in the accident rate at which you decide the speed's OK.
One every 10,000k? One every 100,00k?
'Cause if you don't have an objective then you don't have a reason to restrict speed at all.
So what is it?

OK read it, 2 major flaws stand out.
Fact still remains it is MUCH safer to watch the road than a speedo in-fact studies suggest upto 80% safer
Humans possess this natural 'power' some call it "self preservation" in simple terms people don't want to die & will try and avoid it. Strange I know... But left to themselves humans will travel at around the same speed (even mentioned in your "facts" to be safer) & a safe one for the roads/conditions.
Then there this...
SWOV has calculated that in crashes between two passenger cars the number of fatalities among drivers would be reduced by a quarter if all passenger cars were to be of the same mass
If safety is soo important to them why don't they do something about weights? they claim it'll save alot more lives than this scam has ever been predicted to save
