I have had many an argument with friends and coworkers regarding the speed limits here in Australia, but now I'd like to know how the thrifty members of OzBargain feel about this controversial topic.
Do you feel speed limits are adequate for 2018? Do you feel they are too fast? Do you feel they are too slow? Vote below!
Ps- I shall prophylactically say, there is no need for personal attacks in the comments. Pixels on a computer screen won't change a made up mind on the matter.
More like the road is too crap
So many people seem to want to blame the road and its conditions for their own failings.
Surely if a road is poor, has shifting surface, broken areas, bad visibility, etc, then a driver should adjust their driving and drive commensurate with the quality (or otherwise) of that road?
Is there any controversy about this?
If a road is bad, then a-wishin' and a-hopin' that it will be made better by your superior driving skills, and your awesome vehicle is a fool's delusion.
Have any of you ever seen Dashcam Australia's YouTube channel? You would NOT be recommending an increase in speed :)
Whilst cars are built safer, people are not. I believe that people are now more distracted than ever (both drivers, pedestrians and cyclists).
Until those issues improve the speed limits shouldn’t increase.
Probably not the speed limit too slow. More like the road is too crap or the public purse too tight
