SO SO TRUE!!!
It allways seemed ludicrous to me when the NT had no speed limits, and yet time and time again had the lowest accident rate. (but also lowest number of vehicles)
I also found it disgusting that you could legally and safely travel at 160 on one side of the border, but just 100 metres down the road you would be booked, and charged for not only speeding, but dangerous driving! - on the same bloody road!!!
Look at how technology has changed over the years. How can an old car with drum brakes and razorblade tyres, driven by my grandmother doing a 100kmph be considered safe, when a new modern car doing 120 on a wide open freeway is deemed dangerous.
I've read a porsche can stop from 200kmph faster than a fitted out highway patrol commodore at 100kmph. And the porsche will do it all day whereas the commodores brakes will fade after a few goes.
The whole speed kills thing makes me VERY angry
but then . . . we all ride 'busas, so naturally none of us would ever consider going over the SPEED limit, so it's all abit accademic really.
