    "We were killing around 1500 people on our roads"? Who was? A mad axe murderer and his mate? We should be told, Joe!

    No you don't you tool, I don't slow down or hit the brakes when I see a camera as I seem to possess that strange ability of being able to look at the road and keep an eye on my speed at the same time.

    Don't forget to factor in the new road networks there, we've still got some amount of truly awful drivers out there no matter what the stats. say.

    These guys always think that speed limits should apply to everyone but them.

    "relative speed is a killer" - so if the child is running at 45mph and you hit them at 48mph then you're not speeding.

    Surprised Joe didn't want to know where they're buried.

    He's off on holidays soon, lots of graveyards to visit. :rolleyes:

    Speed and alcohol are the major contributory factors in most road traffic accidents.

    Most cars' speedos overestimate speed, so doing 61km probably meant it was reading 65+. Still a bit harsh, I thought there was a 10% leeway.

    the dude on a joe a few mins ago was only doing one km over the 60 km limit, and one km over the limit is 65km and 69km.

    those nasty guards will be stopping people who are the alcohol limit next.

    It's amazing that people don't understand the word "limit".

    Bad driving is as much as a factor as anything

    Listening to them it seems they confuse it with the word "target".

    young people speed on back roads.

    old people drive the wrong way on motorways.

    Duffy the ignoramus is at it again.

    Talking over callers, telling callers not to mention the word "county manager" for fear of getting his ass/rte's ass sued, Duffy doesn't understand whats proven is proven and whats in the public domain already is ok to say (as long as its not libellous), he is such a pussy.

    you do see the weird and the wonderful on secondary roads. no rules seem to apply.

    BTW are people still advocating different drink driving laws for the countryside?
