i cannot think of any instances in day-to-day driving in a city when driving faster is safer...

Training drivers to be aware of when speed or lack thereof is appropriate would seem a better alternative....as despite draconian regulation in Oz...we bury all too many road users.

training should be a good idea, and the more training and experience we have the safer we all should be.
of course, we cannot seem to "train" our citizens that drinking a lot is unhealthy and dangerous and that eating a lot of sweet, sugary foods without exercising, as well, is unhealthy.
so, I submit that without the "draconian" regulation in OZ perhaps we would have an even higher road toll...
