Interesting statistics

In the year following the NT Gov introducing the speed limit on the Lasseter
Highway (from unlimited to 110) the death toll, they were proud to tell us,
dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1).

In the 3 months since the NT Gov introduced a blanket speed limit (130 max)
and significantly increased penalties across the board because "our
statistics are worse than 3rd world countries" they have gone remarkably
silent. Could that be because the road toll is now sitting at 10 year to
date compared to last years 4 to date, which is 150% increase? Hmmm.

Now we have not just speed signs, but bloody ugly great LED things which are
actually intrusive, and brighter that the traffic lights they are in the
sight lines of....Who cares wheterh we know to stop or go, as long as we how
fast to go....

Bring on the election, so we can replace the morons with... other morons...
*sigh*

Well I travel to and from Darwin regular ,I have seen the new 130Kph
signs ,but still stick to my old ways 140 Kph plus, in my car on the
bike its usually 160-180 Kph
Funny though I've never seen coppers out enforcing the new limits, they
seem to hang more in the towns ,pinching drivers for 3 and 4 k over 60
kph, they don't like to get too far away from the creature comforts of town.
