TAC, the biggest hypocrites in Australia.

3? I thought from 3-15 k's over the limit was the most minor offence?

[HAL]

Really, exactly three?

Ah k, thanks for the info, I think the categories used to be 3-15, then 15-30, then 30+.

Anyway, back to the point, ONE incident 14k's above the limit is hardly an outrage given the size of the organisation.

The law is the law.
And the law has been broken.
Remember the advert with the woman and her living at the correct speed. So if the TAC employee hit her at 14 kmh over then she would be dead according to the TAC.
But that doesn't matter does it when you are trying to defend the TAC.

If you are trying to demonstrate the road toll per speed zone those stats are meaningless member. They are for pedestrian deaths not road deaths.

Road fatality figures across Victoria for 2005 show:

100/110 kmh zone:165 fatalities
70/80/90 kmh zone 92 fatalities
40/40/60 kmh zone 87 fatalties

Speed does not kill, it's always the sudden stop.

What's scary about the whole speed thing is I grew up in the era when it was 35 mph limit in town and basically whatever you like on the open road as long as you weren't (in the opinion of Police) driving unsafely.

Seatbelts were an annoyance that would've stopped you being able to climb from the back seat into the back of the station wagon to play with toys while mum was hurtling down the highway at 85mph IF they were fitted let alone worn.

I had my P's at 17 and full unrestricted license at 18 and would regularly go to parties or the pub on Friday or Saturday night at 18 and drive home with a BAC that would have stunned a mule while all the time trying to avoid the cops.

Finley to Tocumwal is 21 Kms in a fairly straight line. If you take the back roads which were mostly dirt; no reflectors down the middle or sides, it was closer to 30. What a way to get driving experience, doing 120kmph sideways down dirt tracks at 2am while about 0.2 BAC.

Finley to Tocumwal ? stui, I bet you know all the words to 'I've been everywhere man'

Finley?
You're not Shane Crawford are you stui?

Wash your mouth out, your fingers and sterilise your keyboard for even contemplating that Member.
