Speed kills. It’s the message that we’ve had driven home for decades by law enforcement and the government. But it’s time to have a serious discussion about speed limits in Australia without the hysterics and put some cold, hard facts into the debate.

    @Tau Aussie drivers are too badly behaved and too poorly skilled to support raising speed limits.

    As much as I agree that cars are better and roads are better, the nut behind the wheel is the limiting factor.

      Absolutely. I spent the last 4 years commuting 2 1/2 - 3 hours every day on the freeway.

      I count my lucky stars that I’m still alive.
