[Terminal]

Bravo, well said. that brightened up my morning

i think speeding in a school zone should be loss of licence straight away if during school hours .when you have kids yourself you will understand .look at that poor kid sophie 2nd time hit speed driver thru school zone . gee if ya cant even slow down for kids ya dont deserve to have a car . if you got done out of school hrs i hope ya dont get much of a fine if it was during school hours i hope ya walk for 6 months

cheers have a nice day

Sophie didn`t get hit by a speeding driver any how 1st time it was some old dude that had a heart attack the 2nd time the driver wasn`t speeding

Roads are built for Motorvehicles. If your on the road and your not in a car you had better be even more aware of surroundings.

The shift in responsibility is wrong. Kids might be kids but they also end up dead kids.

Parents have a duty of care for their own children and teaching them road safety. Children under 8 have not developed adequate sound, depth perception and have a narrow visual focus.

No-one can argue with 1000+kgs of moving metal on the road. Even when your in the right.

yeah didnt the nanny step out on a crossing with her, and the driver was blinded by the sun or something and didnt see them? the second time I mean.

anyway... I have my fine

$133 and 1 point for <15km over

I can live with that

hehe same fine for me.. speeding up into an 80 zone too early and done for speeding. $133 and 1 point for 11kms over.

Personally i think A.C.T should have the same rules as most other states when it comes to school zones, having a gap between 10 and 2 where the 40 zone doesnt apply.

I cant agree more with the above post about the shift of responsibility. EVERYTHING now is about covering your arse and not being held responsible for anything.

Look right, left and right again. Click clack front and back etc are all missing from schools today. Its sad, sad that somone obeying the speed limit and the law in a school zone is blamed for when some little mongrel of a kid runs out onto the road without looking cause mums having a smoke... is it their fault? HELL NO!!! but they still cop the blame and its BS!
