| 1113264 | 2010-06-25 01:45:00 | I'm with prefect. It's called the speed "limit" for a reason. Why? Because you're it is the limit, which by definition means that they should be fining you for going over it. That said, I regularly sit on 55 while driving, and if I got a ticket for doing that then I'd be bummed, but at the end of the day fair is fair right? |

Half the japs in this country have issues with their speedos anyway. No one can whine about get get snapped, but at anything less than 10km/h it's simply wrong and this is revenue gathering. There has to be a margin for error. The 10km/h "rule" wasn't there to let speeders off, now they bummed it down to 4? Now 1? That's absurd and nothing more than a sleezey way of making a quick buck. |

| 1113269 | 2010-06-25 03:20:00 | Like slap with wet bus ticket? Or investigate what other countries are adopting for penalties - I mean are they all monetary fines initially? Perhaps their are graduated penalties culminating to fines depending on other factors like environment, driver's circumstances (emergency), speed over (or even under) the legal limit, etc. I mean how does anyone know if a legal speed is acceptable or not? - I assume it's based on extensive research - locally and internationally. |

| 1113270 | 2010-06-25 03:27:00 | upload.wikimedia.org How about we up the speed limit on highways, say 120, and slap a 250$ fine for everyone with a margin of say 10km/h. With repeat offenders losing their right to drive for two years? I guarantee you, if the limit was upped to 120, you'd see a drop of 90% of speeding tickets. Anyone want to hit up NZ crash/accident statistics? |

Anyone want to hit up NZ crash/accident statistics? Yeah - Good idea, even for a trial period, perhaps including restricted hourly periods, or other limiting factors, if there's concern that 120 may be a bit premature for some. |

| 1113272 | 2010-06-25 03:42:00 | www.caradvice.com.au I wonder why NZ has worse statistics than most counties who have higher speed limits... Do consider that in most countries the weather conditions such as snow and ice on the road are FAR worse than in NZ. |

Forget the speedo margin if you stick to the indicated speed you'll probably be doing less than the limit although I've been told that Ford Falcons indicate ~100 @100. I doubt that the Police themselves have equipment with better than 1% accuracy. |
