>>>>reducing the road toll good on them. if you want to speed or drink and drive then accept that you are breaking the law and soon= er or later you will have to pay. > >My impression of a democracy is that when a majority of peoples of a nation act in a certain way it is a governments duty to ensure= that laws are enacted to provide people with the rights to continue to act in this way Wern a majority of all road users exceed the speed limit, (prove this for yourself and travel at the legal limit in any right hand lane of any motorway or freeway in Australia), the law is wromg not the people and to select, indiscriminately, people outside this law to increase the revenue avaliable for anything other than infrastructure spending to allow increased safe speeds on our roads is an act approaching treason and at the least a corruption of the power and trust placed in the law makers. You will find in places like Germany responsible infrastructure spending that has allowed the building of cars capable of travelling at speeds approaching aircraft velocity in a safe manner. Imagine if you could tavel Sydney to Brisbane at 200 kph on a road designed for it!! 6 hours!! Why would you take a plane??? All in all the government has got the gullible public in a double whammy. You cant travel fast safely because they havent spent properly on infrastructure so they lower the speed limit provide cars that are capable of vastly exceeding the limit for unrestricted sale and then fine you for not obeying their ridiculous limits imposed originally because they have mis managed their spending. To add insult to injury the revenue collected is not even applied to remedying this situation!!!
