I was just thinking.
Wouldnt it be nice if we could drive faster on the roads. say 75 in a 60 zone legally.
1st of all. The car must be able to stop in the same space/distance that a standardized car *eg a holden omega*
2. Must be able to stop at that distance cold *ie 1st thing in the morning*
3. Must have random test to prove that it can still stop in that distance other wise the speed is reduced.
So bascially im saying.
Grab a holden omega commie get it to 60kph and brake as hard as you can. lets say it can stop in 40m *its just numbers*
Next grab your nicely done up car. eg bigger brakes, better tyres, decent suspension, get it up to a set speed. ie 60kph and brake as hard as you can. Lets say it stops in 25m
next test is to speed up the car, ie 70kph, do the same thing, ie get the car up to speed and brake. lets say it brakes in 33m
then increase the speed of the car until it can stop within the 40m in 3 quick sessions.
There is a neg to this tho. It would be lanes of traffic. maybe also change the road rules so that only certine cars can use the right hand lane after they have complete the test? and on single lane roads, they can only drive as quick as the slowest car
anyway i thought i would just put this up for discussion. so enjoy.
