Another example of being seen to be doing something, like lowering the speed limit, again, now.
Are there any stats to show the road toll changed during the fuel crisis 80km/h period? That would have been a good demonstration of how changing nothing other than the speed limit works, or doesn't work, wrt road crashes. Once the limit was reinstated to 100, did crash stats show a comparable jump?
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
