5km/h slower and he'd only have a bruised leg

Its not about lowering speed limits from what is already out there, just having people observe them, do you have objections to that?

I suppose in reply you are going to argue that some of the ads encourage pedestrians to fling themselves into the paths of cars because the ad campaign will get car drivers so they only get hit at 5km/h?


I dont think so!, the adds also bring to people's attention what can happen if you are an inattentive pedestrian, kid on a bike that doesnt look properly , the car driver if another vehicle pulls out in front of you, etc

the ads of benefit to everyone it would seem......apart from the this doesnt apply to me because Im an advanced driver, spent half an hour on a skid pan... yada, yada

Seems you need to read my posts more carefully, or even at all.

I was referring to the "how would you feel if you hit someone comments".

Also I clearly said I have no problem with enforcing reasonable speed limits, but lets check.

I am not against sensible setting of speed limits for the environment, such as 40 km/h zones around high pedestrian volume areas, schools etc. I am also not against enforcing those speed limits in those areas

Yep, thought I said that, dumb question answered.

In regards to the 2nd add there i thought au series 1 had abs? i think those ads are slightly exaggerated to get there point across...

I know someone who used to test for ADR and he said car without abs always stopped quicker in straight line.
