70 km/hr speed limit?

Fucking make the speed limit 0kph. Fucking problem solved bitches.

Fucking hell.

Rider/driver training is a better idea. Intensive training and repeat training courses at say 5 year intervals.

Plus restricting cars to the younger ones - WTF a 15 year old is legally allowed to get behind the wheel of a Skyline, HSV or similar is beyond me.

70 is nuts on the open road - what the heck are you meant to do with 5 & 6th gear????????

Fucking hell.

Fucking A!

That would save a load of $ on tyres and servicing - plus just about every used bike would be 'like new' condition.

well i reckon all vehicles should be governed to 50 kph.no fast vehicles at all to be imported . including gov"t ministers bmws .then we would all be really safe. really dont know why our caring governments let fast cars and bikes in anyway .well i guess they just need our money . gives the police something to do. i reckon everyone who gets a ticket should not pay the automatic fine. always plead not guilty and take it to court .imagine the nz courts trying to cope .it would be years before the cases were called .many of the policemen would have left anyway so no evidence could be called . the police get off really easy at the moment as most folk pay the standard fine . if speed was so dangerous a motorist should be stopped immediately he was clocked .not much point in getting a fine in the mail to the owner of the vehicle 2 weeks later. the driver may well have been drunk. disqualified or even not had a licence and his speed may well have caused an accident .. take it from me speed cameras are a great way for the governments to make money and really dont contribute to road safety at all . i worry about what they will think of next .wont be long before we will all be cringing at 30kph for sure . cheers jase the ace ..

I thought this thread died a month ago. Apparently it was only sleeping.

One hoped it had run down the curtain and joined the choir invisibule.

Well its gonna rear its ugly head every so often as every L Plater that goes on the motorway finds out how exposed they feel doin 70kph when every other bugger is doin 100+, and they KNOW all the cagers behind them are gettin well peed off and so they're worryin what nutter is gonna do somethin stupid like cut him up or worse!

[gatch]

its such a fuckin ridiculous notion, driver ed is key, so many cats on the road have got no idea at all of what they are doing, its mind blowing.

iv had this argument with people over and over and over, speed doesnt kill people, hell you can fall over and break your arm or your neck, BUT of course speed wll amplify the damage in a crash, BUT 99% of people wouldnt crash if they formulated a better opinion on the surface they are driving on and exercised better judgement around other motorists..

i could write a novel about this but then im sure alot of you are thinking the same thing eh..

sorry, my rant..

Claes Tingvall is the fanatic instigator of all the draconian traffic law in Victoria and NZ and some other anglo countries.
(The latin countries have more sense-eg the Italians raised the federal speed limit to 150 for safety reasons)
In our part of the world Victoria are the high priests of his evil cult and NZTA are the twisted altar boys waiting for some perverted attention.
