Finally somebody makes some sense ....

I agree with all of this and have been saying for years that the speed limits are too low on the freeways.

140 would be a good cruiseing speed and I reckon there would be less fatigue crashes as you would be in Brisbane 2 hours earlier, parked up and relaxing.

Lets make a petition and send it to all of our MPs, as a VWW lobby group.

I have a solution!!

Make all speed limits 400kph, then I can virtually guarantee that NOBODY would be killed exceeding the speed limit!!

LOL ... except the poor Veyron driver driving at the speed limit running into a granny in a Camry that without warning turned into the fast lane .... @ 90km/h

Interestingly, looking at some of the "research" out there it quickly becomes clear that the outcome is pretty much what the researcher wants ...

The Green Car Lobby group obviously found a huge increase in fatalities, just as the Australian Pedestrian Council (sic) would ..... ... idiots ....

In SA they keeps speeds down by not maintaining the roads. Some of them are unusable over the posted limit.

The 60k limit didnt prevent the 5 car chainy, I rode round on my bike on Wednesday. Clowns constantly changing lanes and pulling into imaginary gaps is the cause.

With the std of driving I have seen here, I wonder how there isn't a lot more folk meeting their maker.

A highway with chicken wire in the central reservation, that's sensible. Always seeing cars that have gone through that.

Combating road deaths is a losing battle IMO. More people on the roads, doing more miles= more deaths.

Jeff Kennet back in the 90's wanted to make the Hume un-restricted again, but make it a toll road.

I'd pay that toll so that I could sit on 150 all day and get to Sydney early and fresher
