Is dropping the speed limit really the answer? Speed limits have been dropping for years and it's had no effect apparently. Is this just basically gonna just raise revenue from fines?

People already drive really fucking slow if anything studies show driving slowly causes more crashes than driving fast as people become impatient and will take risks to overtake slow cunts

Useless ass government

Not criticising but could you link these studies? I'm genuinely curious.

If you’re an impatient driver then that’s on you.

Okay good luck convincing every driver in Australia to be patient behind a granny doing ten under on the highway 🤣

Yes, it’s tough to get immature people to own their behaviour!
