Why?? you ask.

From the RTA website:




This is just more proof that there IS considerable NEGATIVE consequences of travelling at faster than signposted speeds. Speed restrictions are set by proffessionals who have weighed up the gain of extra speed against the costs of reduced vehicle performance. We might feel our cars can comfortably do an extra 20-30km/h but it has side-effects

This is a great post and i challenge any of the self-proclaimed experts here on AFF (you know who you are) who claim "speed cameras are about revenue raising" to explain why they are above the laws of physics and how they are going to lose that additional 42km/hr impact speed when a child jumps in front of them 30m down the road and they're doing 60 in a 50.

All the nonsene catch phrases like "speed doesnt kill, innatenitve drivers do"... can someone please explain how they are going to get around these laws of phyisics?
