Why do you say this? The German paradygm clearly shows this to be false.

Crash rates are lower on Autobahns. This is fact.

As to whether Oz wants to spend some serious money on a similar national road & licensing system is probably a matter for another debate....

I must admit I'm close to closing the thread.....which was opened with a report by a leading expert saying in effect, we have a few things to learn.

It would seem government sponsored marketing (they called it propergander some time ago) wins over critical thought...
