    if the speed limit is too low the carrying capacity of a highway is reduced hence undue congestion is caused.

    surely if the speed limit was 75, there would be heaps of people wanting to go 90...so its kind of a no win argument.

    If I'm capable of driving safely, on a safe piece of road at higher than the posted limit, why the fuck should I be waiting for you to catch up?

    I gotta agree on that, some of the roads around are 3 or 4 lane carriageways with 60km/h signs... and that means at 3am when there is no one around I still have to drive 60... and if I (a p-plater) were caught... I would be a hoon... Gah [/rant]

    Speaking of that... if i were caught doing 70 in a 60 zone at 3am in a three lane carriage way (lets say near Carousel)... would you still get raped for doing 10 over? experience from anyone?

    When you say repeat... do you mean with cars? Or BIKES? Cos I think bikes (although more dangerous because people might get suspicious/angry...) would be much more awesome

    Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were passing judgment on everybody else's driving ability with this one;

    Did anyone see the episode of Today Tonight (I think it was this show) where the unmarked cop car trawled down the Freeway south bound sitting exactly on the speed limit? They had the car fitted with front & rear cameras - it was hilarious watching some of the irate drivers offering up abuse as they got stuck behind & didn't realise it was the bully man.

    No never even been pulled over. I dont see why people have issue about doing the limit, its the people doing UNDER the limit everyone should get pissed at
