NSW Double Demerit Points

I remember, some years ago, the first time I drove the (unsealed) Jamieson to Woods Point road (Vic High Country) and noticed the 100kph signs - you would need to be out of your tiny mind to do 100kph on most of that road. Yet many Oz roads with a good, wide, sealed, surface and a terrain where you can see for miles are limited to 100kph also.

Speed kills? I don't think so - bad driving kills.

So Jumbo drags out the old chestnut of "revenue raising " once again , would not be that he got caught again !!!! LOL , call the moderator , Jumbo denies that he is the wanker !!

This post has been cleaned up once.

Why do you persist?

You are only creating work for David and Michellle and their team.

Because Jumbo saving lives is a major concern of mine and my family ,and people such as you who have no regard for the law pertaining to that end are nought but wankers ,so revenue raising !!! makes you think twice ,better than being dead.

You bore me with your rhetoric Undertaker.

You are insignificant.

Just goes to show Jumbo that you have a tiny little mind with concern for no one but his own ego , ooohh woe is me ! speed lmiits are wrong ,why oh why do i get fined , I THE ALMIGHTY JUMBO am the best driver in the world ,rues do not apply to me ,tis nought but revenue raising ,I Jumbo Will never DIE in a car , ,,,,,, cant happen soon enough , WANKER.

Exploder,

Exactly right about the economy. I'd hate to be a truck driver or courier driver etc now days with all the photographic cash registers on the roads now. Must be really affecting professional drivers and as you know being a mechanic yourself (As i am) this trade has a severe shortage of qualified personell, my prediction is that the professional driving industry will be the same as ours in 5 years. This will lead to a growth in inflation and damage to the economy. Interesting thing i saw on the tv recently was some pollie saying that the nation needs to get freight off trucks and onto rail to reduce fuel burn, ie oil consumption long term. Maybe a conspiricy theory to slow down road transport growth! Yep, It is ultimately about controlling the population, it's a world of "you can't do that". Mate everything is illegal now, I could go on for ages!

Hahahahaha I hope they prosecute every one of the dopes to the fullest extent of the law.

haha why not add a blown headgasket and stone chips in your windscreen in there for good measure... im sure everybody flaunts the law at some time... maybe just ease off the gas over the crissy break.

Cheers, Anand. and have a merry christmas all!

Speed does not kill lack of driver education & bad roads do.
i fully believe in speed limits in town & school zones but on a good stretch of open hi way why not up the limit to 130kph. In the NT on open limit roads people mostly do this speed safely.
I seriously believe a car & caravan doing 80kph in a 110kph zone & not spacing them selves out to let other faster traffic past is a greater danger on the road than me sitting on 120kph ....anyway merry Christmas's & a happy new year & i hope everyone is safe this season & don't let the revenue raising dogs catch you either.

"a car & caravan doing 80kph in a 110kph zone & not spacing them selves out to let other faster traffic past "

Are you suggesting the car and the caravan travel separately?

Sorry 66toy, I could'nt resist :))))))))))))))))))))))

lol fair comment gramps .
i meant a cars & caravans as a combo travelling in convoy as we often see on the roads doing 80kph in a 110kph zone . It is very hard to get past sometimes when there is 3 or 4 of these people nose to tail blissfully unaware (or totally ignorant) of other road users ! Please those of you reading this that do the above space yourselves out at least 100mtr apart or more so trucks & faster traffic do not have to stay on the wrong side of the road for longer than necessary or when only limited safe room for overtaking is available..............666TOY

Hahaha I agree you entirely re caravans (and their attached vehicles) travelling in convoy. Most caravanners are OK and do their best not to impede traffic but those that don't are the ones that stick in our memory.

ps I have never towed a caravan, or owned one, etc etc etc
