Love is a good tune on the player, an empty road in the hills and a full tank of fuel. :y:

I thought it was that feeling in the bottom of your gut, then you realize its just dinner stirring :y:

Totally and completely incorrect.

Sorry Trav, not having a go at you. This topic really 'grinds my gears'

 

You may recall this thread. What your mechanic tells you is not necessarily true. Only the standards division of your state road traffic authority - in writing!

Yes but is it like that for NSW?

 

Its all good man, i really just don't see why its illegal.....

 

Travis.

when people stay 15 meters back from the car infront in traffic :y:

 

I'm on my L's and that gives me the shits

i don't see why cocaine is illegal, but it is, so deal with it and work out your problems

 

if you really wanna know, contact the RTA in writing and get a written response

When peple overtake you then cut in fornt of you hen the get 30cm in front of you and do it for no possible reason at all!!

 

Travis.

I promise not to block up a general thread with anymore "car talk", it's illegal because the car doesn't comply with the ADR's thus requires engineering to certify the car is safe.

Don't people know what a search function is ??

 

Google is your friend

 

so phuckin use it

Apparently they're changing the speed limits on ALL the 100km/h roads in the Barossa to 80 coz of the 3 crashes there recently. That makes me angry. Clearly if people were speeding in a 100 zone, they're not gonna slow down when it changes to 80.

They should chuck in a few speed cameras, usually that stops the majority speeding, I think speed cameras are a good traffic speed control system, people always slow down if they know theres a camera ahead.

 

Travis.

Then speed up straight away afterwoods.....

 

speed cameras DO NOTHING but slow people down for 100 metres.

 

If they really wanted to control speeding they would have frequent police patrols and roadside radar setups.

 

If you don't know where it is, then you are more likely to slow down.

As orangeLJ said they then speed up straight after the speed camera.

 

People here in Adelaide tend to drive at least 70km/h on most 60km/h roads, then you clearly see the front of the car nose dive once a speed camera is visible.

 

I am fed up with this attitude that lowering speed limits will reduce the road toll. If people are going to go 150km/h in a 100km/h zone, for what reason will they not do the same thing in a 60/70/80 zone.

 

With a lot of these roads that have copped lower speed limits you find yourself constantly watching the speedo more than the road to make sure you aren't creeping over the speed limit. How the f@$k is that going to save people?!

 

That's my rant

 

Cheers, Ben.

What lexxi hasn't mentioned is that the road that 2 deaths was on (the public ones that aired on Today tonight etc.) isn't changed at all. Its still 100, as its a state government road. It was mentioned on the news yesterday due to a Facebook group complaining.
