Any state that cuts off compensation for motor accident victims,then spends the money on Footy clubs and Grand Final Dinners is morally corrupt.
TAC advertisments that do not have any logic.
The car travelling at 55kph,instead of 60kph does not injure the child so much.
If the child had been trained in JUDO,perhaps she would not even receive such an injury,even at 70 kph.
The argument goes why was the car travelling down the street in the first place,if the driver had used public transport there would be no accident.
Speed does not kill,this is proved by the number of deaths on the very fast trains that travel in Asia and Europe.If speed killed nobody would travel by plane.
I have travelled in Norway a country controlled by women where their are no fast roads and 30kph is a common speed limit.Even with these feminine speeds their are still just as many injuries,as Sweden and Germany the home of high speed.
As Mark Webber noted Australia is the only population in the world that suffer from such tight control on the roads.
The Australian penal colony mentality still exists.
The eight Australian governments love it all the way to the bank.

Alright joyboy, so what’s the answer then?

Completely abandon speed cameras?

Or……

Strive to see that they are accurate, legal under all interpretations of the law, and used effectively where speeding is a problem?
