Plater Clocked at Insane speed!!! (3 Viewers)

what the fuck was the point of that

 

[hungwell1337]

that speeding is fine.

 

[Riet]

almost all cars will beat that outdated highway code, that is meaningless. Average human reaction time is nearly half a second from recognizing hazard to braking. And with regard to what I said about a roo before: a roo at 140 km/h will write-off your car, unless you have a bullbar. Probably end up with whiplash too, let alone whatever happens after you get an airbag in the face.

roo-bar*

roo-bar*

Who cares?

A roo-bar is just a smaller Bull-bar, and a Bull-bar will offer better protection.

Meaningless technicality.

 

[Ritard_]

roo bar will not protect your car in a 50km/h collision
a bull bar will not protect your car at a 90km/h collision
a 5 poster steel bull bar might but your mounting brackets will be fucked
hitting a roo at above 100km/h pretty much gurantees your car will be a write off

 

[aussie-boy]

incredibly good sources, well done

RTA statistics prove otherwise

AUSTROADS statistics prove otherwise


also lol at your first source

"Meanwhile, there's still debate on the Northern Territory's experiment with speed limits. In 2007 the territory's government decided to place a 130km/h limit on four major highways that had previously been limit-free – the Stuart, Arnhem, Barkly and Victoria.

In the first two years of the 130km/h limit, the territory's toll leapt alarmingly above the last of the open-slather years, from 35 deaths in 2004, 55 in 2005 and 44 in 2006 to 57 in 2007 followed by a tragic jump last year to 75 fatalities – the worst for 21 years"


yes

excellent

I don't get your point...
They lowered the speed limit, and the death toll rose
How is this supporting your POV?

And I'd love to see some proper RTA stats
(proper = impacts of experimental speed limit changes... not conclusions drawn from the behaviour of the kind of people who are willing to 'speed' regardless of the law)

No limits effectively means drivers are allowed to drive at a comfortable speed?

Being made to drive 130km/h would throw people use to doing 80km/h in the deep end?


I unno, i just want L/P platers to be able to merge onto highways at safe speeds.

 

[hosay]

Acceleration is much more important imo, i would be happy having a limited speed of say 150, provided my car could reach 150 in under 5s

 

[NewiJapper]

How does someone like this beat 1,000,000 other sperm...? seriously?!

 

[PH011]

Hey Ritard, if you're a road engineer how come your profile says HSC: 2013?
A year 9 road engineer?

 

[Ritard_]

oh lol u got me

 

[PH011]

Unsucessful troll is unsucessful
Unless you were so dumb as to repeat a year, you have ZERO driving experience.

 

[Ritard_]

its like you know me :/

 

[Ritard_]

hehe amazing how a 14yr old knows more about the issue than you though
or anyone else in this thread
hehe

 

[PH011]

yes you are absolutely correct. How foolish was I to think that people with real driving experience had more driving knowledge than a 14 year old keyboard warrior/troll.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive my foolishness and ignorance.

 

[Ritard_]

yewww

 

[thongetsu]

it's docuhebags like this that make driving laws tougher ! >=O

Yes, he is a troll. He also has other accounts I presume.

Think before typing dude. He may not actually be 14, HSC 2013... People put up what they want.

Key word = Think.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

Yes, he is a troll.

Do you have access to the International Troll Database or something?
