I think things are actually worse than we think. It took friends travelling north, two and a half hours to travel the distance from Woodburn to Ballina last week, 40klm.
That would equate to a speed limit of 15 Klm PH, on the Pacific highway in NSW. Roughly jogging speed.

Diver Dan,

My son-in-law told me, one night at Chatswood Sydney it took him 40 minutes to travel 1km home, that's 1.25km/hr, not bad.

Hassy, I do believe in your case it would be wise if they brought back that good old road rule; A man walking with a red flag should proceed in front of any vehicle driven by your good self.

Anyway people over the age of 80 should not hold a drivers licence! Old farts are the biggest danger on the roads.

A man walking with a red flag should proceed in front of any vehicle driven by your good self.
Paul1405,
A red flag ? What a great idea ! We should have a bloke walking ahead of Greenies & indoctrinated hoons exiting our education facilities !
People only become stupid during exposure to education. Not even the naturally stupid are as stupid as the educated ones !

The alarming thing about this is not the speed limit - which will be a fizzer like everything that comes out of the UN - but the fact that the Australian peasantry is accepting of foreign interference in our affairs.

What a sick joke the UN is: it can't stop China from building illegal islands in the South China Sea; it can't do anything about North Korea firing rockets; it can't handle illegal immigration; it can't do anything about poverty, rapacious war lords - anything important. - so it pokes it's nose into domestic speed limits! It is embarrassing for any civilised Western country to be a member of it.

"People only become stupid during exposure to education. Not even the naturally stupid are as stupid as the educated ones !"

Indy, is that your justification for your total lack of education.

ttbn,
Why do you regard the results of Australia's decision to cooperate internationally as "foreign interference in our affairs"?
