The faster you go, the more damage you will inflict. I cannot believe that there are people who defend the type of driving that ignores speed limits

THere is a difference between someone doing 86 km/h on a freeway on a Sunday at 7.00 am and being booked for over the speed limit to someone doing 160 km/h on the same road ..... Get the space cadets going flat knackered and dangerous .... speed cameras do NOT do this. Watch the rear brake lights at Wellington east link under pass .... those doing 10 k's under and still breaking : when its 'busy' its a damn bloody hazard.

Of course everyone is passing you!!!!! You stick to your 70's in an 80's zone and be more of a hazard than those doing a few k's over .....

The formula you are referring to is so flawed its laughable. You state you drive 10k's under????? So its safer doing 80 in an 90 zone than 75 in a 70 zone?

As with every single speed camera thread they get closed ...... I am sure this will too but as always just have to have my say first
