In a few short years, expect the blanket tolerance for normal driving to be +5km/h, permanently, nationwide.

Then expect Holiday weekends to be "zero tolerance" +0km/h... to catch all those reckless hoons doing 103km/h down the ramarama straight at Easter.

Then watch as fatalaties rise as people are constantly overtaking sheep looking at their speedos.

They seem to be confusing speeding with driving without due care, dangerous driving and aggressive driving.

Their stats though, if correct, are quite compelling.

Don't know what the author of that article is smoking. Yes speeding kills, but its those who take stupid risks or don't know how to handle their car who end up crashing.

So sick of all these stupid mindless road rules that completely miss the actual causes of crashes (driver education and so on). When i win Lotto i'm gonna buy up a few farms and make my own Nurburgring Nordschliefe track through the hills etc so i can cruise along at any speed i want.
