Boy though did I have some fun with interstate cops, whilst I had it.On a serious note, look at the yearly and holdiay stats on road deaths, now I know NT has a lot less people travelling, but those that do travel alot of kilometres. I think you will find that they are the lowest just about every time, including ACT.I dont think it is speeding that is killing our drivers, and I know the government knows this to. Still a healthy budget gets them reelected.Scotty←You cant compare NT open highway rules to any of the other states.. Of course speed has everything to do with it. So does a lapse in concentration and people being given their licenses to easily.I still dont know why people get so upset over the 'no speeding or youll cop a fine rule'.. If you speed, live with the bloody consequences..I do.←Why can't you compare the NT to other states?←I think the major difference with our roads is the shear volume of cars their highways see, Ive never seen 150k of banked traffic in th NT, unlike the F3.

Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 19y 3m 23d Location: Perth Posted 11/04/06 10:24 AM Share Posted 11/04/06 10:24 AM Latest news here in the land of WARoad Safety Commission have come up with another brilliant idea ←Who is Grant Dorrington anyway? What gives him the qualifications to make judgements and stratagies for road safety initiatives? The guy wasn't much of a footy player and it looks like his footy skill have been carried over to this role.I'm scynical of road safety councils who never have profesional drivers, driving educators or race car drivers contributing to policies. Most are just beaurocrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In built up areas then fair enough, but in isolated areas on good roads with minimal traffic travelling at 100km/h is more dangerous than travelling faster due to the fatigue and boredom factor.What does ruin it for us though is the idiots that get kicks out of racing on suburban streets. They are the pr!cks that should be locked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
