lower the speed limits there will be MORE people speeding..................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... revenuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue
speed kills with inexperience , carelessness and over exuberance ..........

used as a political smoke screen to hide the poor condition of many australian roads....quite possible.... lower limits less deaths ...i doubt it.........

max 90 kmh sealed 80 unsealed.........FFS.....do we really need any more REGULATION in our lives .........look at OHS good to to see people conscerned about our welfare at work... but is it yet another horse to flog .......possible thread there....

look at tanyas trip brisbane to the apostles with many detours..........how long at suggested speeds ????????? how enjoyable at any lowered limit?????? catch a plane...cheaper and faster.......oooh conspiracy theory airline companys lobying the govt'

Excellent idea that one. I've been bleating for ages about more driver/rider training, here in mexico we should all get advanced rider training as we're being taxed for our safety anyways.

As for P platers, let em do an advanced driving course, let them lose control of a vehicle on a skid pan with notihng around to hit, shit like that, let them see the impact of a vehicle at 100 vs 60kmh or some such thing, surely if you wanna rediuce the road toll then better education has gotta help.....

Marty, ffs don't start logical arguments, they don't win votes!!!! And that's the bottom line!!!!

Sorry guy's the theory is right BUT you just end up with a bunch of kids who believe they can get out of any situation they've got themselves in to
If the government were serious then as in the UK compulsory fully comprehensive insurance should be introduced for P platers .......let the market forces decide the size /power of the cars they drive
