Thanks buddy

2) we could learn from the germans and teach and educate our drivers some skills and responsibility, and we could travel even faster than we are now and still reduce the death rates to the same level.

This one for mine, too.

I'm sure most people here would have seen Mark Skaife's short doco he did not too long ago? He basically went over to Germany to observe their attitudes to young driver training to see what we could learn, with a view to increasing speed limits here if people had the requisite training. He got back and (I think) the Victorian premier entirely dismissed it, saying that speed limits would not be raised. Nothing to say on the training component. That's the attitude of those in power - money over safety.
