I was told a couple of years or so ago in Western Australia on a strait stretch of road the cops put up a couple of temp. speed limit signs and then sat in between them with there radar and started pinging drivers who didn't slow down. Now that is what I call revenue hunting. :) |

| 730429 | 2008-12-23 01:11:00 | Does anyone remember those ads from a while back with the cars getting dropped by cranes? They stated that two cars hitting each other, each going at 25kph, was the same as a car being dropped into concrete at a speed of 50kph. That's the day I gave up on following speed limits for the sake of safety. I now follow them when needed so I don't get tickets, and break them at any chance I get. (Ten years and no ticket) |

| 730433 | 2008-12-23 05:45:00 | Hopefully the explanation letter sent to the council will reach a kind-hearted soul who will provide some lenience otherwise it will be a very painful lesson learnt. Every chance it will, I had a $200 fine rescinded recently through a letter explaining that the vehicle was immobilised due to a failed theft attempt. So long as she made a valid case in the letter she may well be successful. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

The lack of any shred of logic in your reason for speeding means you are temporarily a live dickhead. In due course, should you continue with that reasoning, you will become a dead dickhead. Please organise somebody to dig up this thread and post to let us know when that happens. Cheers Billy 8-{) :groan: |

Bruce McLaren and Ayrton Senna (plus a few others as well) would disagree with you on that one Ciccy. Cheers Billy 8-{) On reflection, Paul Radisich has put the principle to the test on a couple of occasions recently, but Peter Brock proved the point at his first attempt. |

Cheers Billy 8-{) The question is,does speed kill,what you are referring to B were accidents. If perchnace you were staionary at a railway crossing and the train killed you,that is an accident,you can't say going slow kills you. I was doing 160 mph the other day and lo I am still here to cheer us all up. |
