They cant make you put a numberplate on the windshield because you have to be able to see through it.... hence the "replace when scratched" label!
What I think is bullshit, is that even sections of main arterial roads have been made 50 zones.... What happened to "local traffic areas".
I think revenue raising has become a bigger issue than road safety. If safety was the "only concern" we'd have all vehicles limited to 10kph with big foam bumpers. The government is supposed to consider the economic cost of reducing speed limits (ie freight and commuter travel times vs road accidents) but I bet no one here can get a hold of the study report... not even bluecenturion.
Also, can you be booked for following a cop car at 80 in a 60 zone when they dont have their lights flashing?
