My mother always brought me up to question things -authority, standard opinion...anything I wanted...so I shall question this (and no doubt wait for the barage of asinine 'troll' comments that follow)...what gives anyone the right to put someone elses safety in danger, on the roads or anywhere else? The law was put there for a reason whether you like it or not...unless you're an engineer who sets these limitations, who are you to say you should be able to do 120 un a 100 zone? I don't like many of the rules we have in Australia, but that certainly doesn't give me the 'right' to break them...

I agree with you trying this thought process, however I think that it is naive. We all put each others lives in danger when we travel. Whether we are obeying the speed limit or not. Two cars traveling in opposite directions at 100km/h is a very dangerous situation, and mistakes occur. It is a biological fact - we as living creatures make mistakes. whether intentional or not. If you really wanted to push the ultimate safety weapon, all cars should be limited to 40km/h by law, and anyone exceeding the law just once should be imprisoned because they put someone elses life/child/wife/baby whatever emotive picture you can imagine, in danger, with fatal possible consequences. Think all the way through your argument and this is the ultimate conclusion.
