I'm guessing this is a stab at my earlier post? not much i have to say to a racist who struggles with the english language himself!!!!! So you obviously don't consider it DANGEROUS for someone to wipe out a whole family in a head on crash due to the fact that they were speeding.....

Obviously not if you are white. Sorry I have to go. Time to plant another burning cross in my neighbours front yard.

Glad there spending money on unmarked HP bikes though eh.

Could name alot more than that in all 3 emergency services. Like everyone else you do your best with the equipment you've got.

There are carnts in every aspect of life and unfortunately the cops get a bad rep care of one or two incidents here or there. In my experience the majority try to do the right thing

I farted on that airhawk, it was juicy too, just a heads up..

Nope, sorry, but I have to disagree. The road rules are written to take into account the most incompetent drivers since our driving tests do not include anything that requires you to be able to control a vehicle at speed. Far too many people can't stay in their lanes, have no idea how to corner at speeds over 60kph and are completely clueless about slippery conditions because they never really learnt how to drive, just how to pass a basic slow speed test. So illegal driving does not necessarily equal stupid or dangerous driving because the laws are set for the incompetent and competent drivers can go beyond these limits safely and often do so without any harm to themselves or others.

You will find that the majority of road accidents are driver error because of a lack of skill or from not paying attention whilst driving. All speed does is change the severity of the impact, not cause the incident. The police (especially highway patrol) are proof that it is possible to speed safely. It is legal for them to break the speed limit (and other road rules) when necessary and they declare that it is safe to do so because of their training. If ALL speeding was dangerous no police would be allowed to break the speed limit for ANY reason!

Bingo!!!
and less that 2% of all accidents occur above the posted speed limit

i think you'll find that police have accidents as well, that also result in deaths. and yes speed does change the severity of the impact, which is exactly the reason they enforce speed limits

Ilike that! Therefore, if you can navigate your local racetrack below a certain time limit, or have completed multiple levels of rider training etc you should be allowed a 20km/hr buffer above the speed limit because of your skills as a rider. That would at least put the speed limit on the roads we love to ride back to something like what they were 10 years ago

So did I while u weren't looking

meh.... so over this thread, my whole point is this. If you want to speed so be it, but if and when you get caught dont blame anyone else for your mistake. the only person in control of your wrist or foot is you!
