Mmn, not quite the Christmas present I'd been asking for...

Bartman is on to it with less liklyhood of getting a ticket due to the cops being too busy issueing minor infringements.
The major problem has got to be driver skill I think, we need to train new drivers better for the just in case times, because the "just in case" situation is 100% garunteed to come about sometime during your driving life and with some education poeple might survive better, or avoid the situation in the first place by maybe driving slower for the situation. Why else have a campaign for "If the conditions change, reduce your speed" this should be part of basic driver training.
The second major factor has to be road condition as we all know well.

If this is the best ideas they have to slow people down, I think I would rather get double the fine, not double the demerits. At least then I'm not so liklely to loose my licence for an ordinary speed. Double the fine only hurts the pocket a bit, you can still get to work to pay it off.

I'm 363cc behind WINJA - runners are the way of the future. It is the only way to maintain the pleasure of bike ownership but still keeping it affordable.

At the risk of sounding like a drone of all the previous posts... why oh why is it sooooooooooooooo hard for our govt to THINK. THINK. FFS THINK! I pay enough taxes to keep food (and booze/drugs/cigarettes) on the table for dumbass f***tard losers with no brains, I don't need any higher paid ones slipping into that same category too!

POLICE STATS OUT TODAY , 30 % OF PEOPLE THAT FLEE GET AWAY , I LIKE THOSE ODDS CONSIDERING IM ON A SUPERBIKE AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND THE ABOVE 30% INCLUDES PEOPLE IN CORTINAS AND TORANAS, SO MUCH FOR CANT OUTRUN MR MOTOROLLA

I still maintain bikes should have a different speed limit, they are a totally different vehicle and primarily are piloted by people with far more skills that those that are let loose in tintops.

I whole heartedly agree.

And here's a question: If you hold a class 1(Car) licence and a class 6 (Bike) licence, and lets say you get done for 160kmh on the bike and lose said class 6 licence, do you lose the class one as well?

[SPman]

You lose the lot!

[SlashWylde]

Cunts...thought that'd be the case. Apparently doesn't matter that in that scenario one would be piloting a bike and NOT a car.

This is infact a purely hypothetical situation. I'm not alluding to anything personal regarding my licence status.

Really? I'm surprised they admit that. Don't all the 5-0 on here say they get just about all of the runners? Must be we have superior 5-0 lurking on KB.

That 30% must also include 1.5 Honda Civics, AE86 Toyota Sprinters, Mitsi Sigma GSR-Xs, BFMR 323s, BG(?) 323s, Lancer GSRs, Mazda MX-5s... shit, how many other cars over the years? And it goes without saying that 400cc Yamahas and 636cc Kawasakis don't have ANY problems at all.

I can say that runners are getting tougher for the boys in blue since they've bought in the new pursuit procedures where they pull out when it gets too dangerous (unlike the good ole days when anything went!). Although it would seem that 200km/h into oncoming traffic is NOT dangerous enough to have a pursuit discontinued.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THE COPS ARE FULLA SHIT , A FEW YEARS AGO AN OFFICER WAS RUNNING HIS MOUTH OFF ABOUT HOW HE ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN AND THE PLACE JUST BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER , THERE MUSTA BEEN AT LEAST 3 GUYS THERE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME THAT GOT AWAY FROM THIS PARTICULAR BIG MOUTH PIG

[madboy]

For God's sake, Winja, how many times do we have to tell you...

POLICE NEVER LIE !!!

[JohnR]

Lower tolerance limits and higher demerits during holiday periods - when crash rates are usually higher than usual - have been used in some Australian states. The speeding tolerance can be as low as 3km/h over the speed limit.

Doesn't say whether it worked or not though

[SPman]

If you call everyone driving around , staring intently at their speedos instead of the road and scared to go within 10k of the limit for fear of losing their licence working.......yes!
But they are so intent on looking at speedos, they tend to hit a lot of other things - but - no matter - if they were under the limit, they must have hit them safely!

Annette kings innovative idea of having an alternate number to the 111 is brilliant. Report everything !! make 20 calls a day, completly overload it. Its your civil duty to narc on bad road users, play their silly game.

This is the same Annette King whose daughter was out in the family car (which you paid for with your taxes) when she lost control and parked it on the roof. Feds found extacy , who is to say it wasnt the ministers ?

More speed Vicar !
