sorry for ya chop
andy, the proofs have been established in the UK; 50kph is a load of crap, caused more accidents and give the police force a pay rise! The 50kph limit has been retracted in the UK or so I've been told by the media
There is no common sense when it comes to speed limit these days. It's a joke to see
-50kph on Days Road, Regency
-60kph on Port Road and Anzac Highway
..just to name a few of my daily frustrations.
There were so much BS from the government and media before the 50kph legislation. Do you guys recall the "think about the impact campaign on TV" where it showed the breaking distance and rear end collision speed of 2 old ?Falcons. The one with the first car breaking distance at 60kph and the second car breaking distance at 70kph and the rear end collision. This was a load of crap. What it fails to show media is if the second car was to travelled at 60kph the accident still happen because the second car will take the same distance to stop. Therefore the front of the second car will stop by the time it reaches the front of the 1st car. Now the first car occupy the last bit of the stopping distance of the second car the accident is designed to occurr....bloody politicians!!!
Oh and the other one where 2 cars travelled 50 and 60kph and got to a destination in the same amount of time DURING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY
My motto has always been, reduce braking distance will reduce laccident. Braking distance can be reduced by lowering car tax, brake/tyres taxes and better road condition.
Is there any politician onboard
