As I said in my earlier post I am naieve enough to believe that there have been numerous studies, and maybe even "screeds of books and topics out there on this".

    What I wanted, was for someone who actually understood these concepts to comment on what international best practicice considers to be the margin of error in these mathematical calculations of yours.

    Your comment about the +20 only reinforces my view that the predators have decided not to take on the raging bulls, but target the slower moving among the herd.

    Happy Hunting.

    As for the child abuse thing, I guess the IPCA report hasn't trickled down to your level yet.
    Newton is weird. Math sucks. I guess I aint yer man for what you are wanting....

    My comment about the +20 is tongue in cheek. Moaning about pursuits on one hand, then claiming +20 are too hard to deal within the next breath. Which one is it to be...? How does my comment reinforce your view?????????? The reality is quite different to how you perceive it to be.

    As for the child abuse thing - I aint a detective. Never have, never will. So yeah, it hasn't trickled down to me.

    People in Porsches are allowed to speed I thought. It was a Panamera, which is quite a nice, and a relatively expensive car. Given our roads are not unlike Autobahns, you know, with the connecting Point a to point b and all, it seems only fair if you have a car that is designed and built to go fast, that you should be able to go fast.
    The ticket given pushed him over the 100 point mark, but that isn't an instant. Those documents are still to be served on him at alater date, once those points are added to his list.....

    Perhaps the message shouldn't be "Speed Kills..."

    Perhaps it should be, "Speed causes you to sometimes make large and unnecessary donations to the government."

    It's a bit of a mouthful, but I wonder if I should copyright it just in case it might catch on............

    WOF and Regos - all the time. Removing them from the roads? Pink and green stickeres issued daily, but like anything, just ignored by the recipient. Mobile crushing would be a more permanent fix.
    Imagne how much easier it would be if it was illegal to sell petrol or diesel to someone with out a WOF or REG.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Then service station workers would get the same abuse from ignorant customers as bottle store and supermarket workers when they refuse to sell booze to people who are pissed off their heads.

    I'm sure they'd appreciate your suggestion.

(okay you have to imagine the Clint drawl on that one).

    It will be interesting to see what impact, if any, this has on the road toll and whether there will be a "reveal all" at the end of it as to how many tickets were actually issued.
    Oh. I Plan to submit a number of OIA requests around this policy in the coming weeks. And I encourage everyone to do the same!

    Maybe they should pull people up that are driving 10km under the speed limit so i dont get f*%ked off and have to pass them.

    Im happy if the traffic is getting along at 100k but then when people start pissing around going slow and i get into passing mode it all changes

    I think we established yesterday that "safety" in this context is about being safe from being ticketed not from having a wreck. Do try and keep up.

    Fool... you're not getting anywhere... you haven't the truth about speeding from a cop, all you have is a cops satirical observation on what he thinks would be a more succesful message to give to an ignorant public

    Well obivously you would be the other type of cop that acutaly believes "speed kills" nonsense....or at least tries to force it to public to keep status quo happy.

    What Patrick wrote (even if accidentaly, and meant as joke) is a truth and you all know it very well...

    As would Mr.T say "I pity the fool that believes speed kills bullshit"
