A point to consider is that Germany has a road and traffic system that will support faster travel and more vehicles Australia has no such system, goodness we cannot even settle on the colour of road markings from state to state, There is no standard for the placement signage or consideration of each and every road user, Every time a new sign is installed it is attached to yet another post (more stuff to hit). As an example I pay a $50.00 per year 'Safety Levy' above the CTP component on my motorcycle Reg, this Tax is then spent on improving 'Motorcycle Blackspots', one such Blackspot on the Warrandyte/Ringwood Road in Warrandyte received a treatment recently that included improving the shoulders of the road, the installation of clearer road edge markings and corner marking, as soon as the works were finished the Local Council declared the improved shoulders parking areas and installed parking signs indicating same, Vic Roads have since informed me that it is beyond their control. We need A SYSTEM first!

P.S. On another note, In an earlier post someone made mention of time over distance whilst driving, A QUESTION FOR ALL, HOW FAR DOES ONE TRAVEL EVERY SECOND AT 60klm/hour, and why did you have to Google the answer?
