How does 130 become some magical figure that is just so compelling to suddenly obey?


Well done for encouraging that speed limiter and sat tracking device every car must have in response to the "Get out of my I want to go faster and Ill never stop attitude".

Youre like 10 pounds of stupid, in a five pound bag.
My last comment was a bit tongue in cheek. Unfortunately typings things isn't the same as pronouncing them.

Here's a quick one for you guys to digest;

There's a section of road in canberra that was always 100km/h. One day, for no real reason it changed to 80km/h. Not long after that, there was a nice new speed camera installed along the part that was previously 100km/h.

Revenue? Saving lives? Why was 100km/h safe for so many years, and all of a sudden it's too fast?
