The road toll is our fault

True.
(But "look; over there!" still works in my rumpus room!)

 

The other end?

 

Glad I don't ride a tractor then. You'll piss off all the Harley
riders with comments like that

 

Which proves that everyone CAN be observant if they want to

Gold!

 

What exactly does that have to do with the cause?

Some speed limits should be raised, some should be lowered. The
current limits are irrelevant to me (other than avoiding tickets when
I choose to exceed them), I ride and drive according to the
conditions. My judgement has proven to be pretty good so far. Don't go
assuming that means I speed everywhere. I have no problem holding up
idiots behind me when I know it's not safe to do the limit.

 

FAce it it's BS

 

The other front or top if you like

 

Tell that to the general population

 

Same as you can blame the cause of the accident for ending up wheelchair
bound, but not blame the extra 20kph you were doing when everything went
pear shaped.

 

Can you be a little bit more cryptic?

 

So you agree with me then....

 

Not unless I start using 4 dimensions

 

Yeah, impact velocities are irrelevant when setting speed limits.
Velocity doesn't kill people, people kill people.

 

Hahahahahaha. Classic RW stuff there.

 

Makes sense to me.

Since you won't explain wtf this means:
I'll just assume you're talking shit and ignore it

 

But you didn't ignore it.

 

20K eh? Ok then, a driver travelling a 50kph goes to sleep & collides head
on with another doing 50k. That results in a 100kph impact...survivable????
Perhaps we should go back to when cars first appeared on public roads &
limit them all to a safer 10 mph thus giving you more time to notice those
pesky lane splitting bikes?

Presuming cars alswas impact at the velocity they were doing when things
went wrong, like the second driver is microsleeping.

In reality many accidents involve some washing off of speed before actuall
impact. So 2 cars head on at 50kph may loose 20kph each, making it 60kph
impact. I've been passenger in a car that stopped 6 inches short of a power
pole, yeah 20kph extra would have been fantastic fun in a 73 Falcon.

Tell me your chances are better or the same with both cars impacting at
70kph which gives you 140kph impact speed, not bad for 2 people running late
in a residential street. But then again speedings really any more dangerous
is it?

Tell me then all the near misses & minor bingles you may have had in your
driving experience, you would not have cared if your vehicle & other
vehicles involved had been doing 20kph, because it's really safer.
