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.

    I believe Australian governments should seriously consider 130km/h freeway speed limits on sections they deem safe to do so. (emphasis added)

    Idk, doesn’t seem as contentious to me as most of the comments here seemed to indicate.

      It really shouldn’t be, but there has been a lot of money and effort expended over the years here to make people believe speed is the root of all evil. Combine that with the fediverse attracting a larger proportion of who are ideologically against any form of personal motorised transport and anything involving cars or bikes can become surprisingly contentious even before you bring speed into the mix.
