How ridiculous, of course speed kills! If I hit a tree at 10km/h I flip the mobile and call my insurance company. If I hit the tree a 100km/hr, my wife at home calls the undertaker. Full stop.

What we do is regulate and control lethal speed to reduce the risk of death to an acceptable level. We do this through licensing, road standards, car design and speed limits. If we can reach an acceptable level while allowing 160km/hr or more as in the case of autobahns, terrific. I don’t understand what your argument is Peter – what on earth is it that you’re suggesting? Give us a model for Australian roads.
