The powers at be will always fall back on, "To avoid some accidents, you can not govern the speed of a vehicle". For example, even in a 40 zone, if a semi with no brakes is hurtling down the hill behind you, you need to be able to go over 40 to get out of the way...
I don't think governing speeds is a solution. Something like NZ would go down well. Non-fixed speed cameras. What is the point of a fixed speed camera with a sign warning you?? Just the fact that there is a sign, warning you is pathetic. What's the point? Everyone just slows down.
Or alternatively 5-10 km/h over the limit $500 dollar fine or 10-30km/h over you get slammed with $10,000.
I say make the cameras like NZ, move them every 2 weeks and don't warn a speeding driver to slow down prior to it...
While we are on 40 zones, we really really need the flashing lights at every one. Many a time I have missed a 40 zone, no clock in my car and you can't touch your phone so....?
