    Second is the nature of enforcement. Photo trapping is encouraging false number plates. Invisible policing isn't slowing people down. Just not enough physical presence to make an impact.
    Agree 100%
    This has been tried in the UK and has been proved that it does not work, the only solution is visible law enforcment.

    I do feel they can make the maximum speed 160 kilometres per hour. Really if youre car can do it and you move faster why not? Accidents happen because we have to share the roads with trucks, potholes, drunk drivers and invisible cops.

    ... and pedestrians and wildlife.

    I don't know about the 160km per hour speed limit. You're really reducing the odds of being able to avoid problems when things go wrong.

    Maybe there's a few sections of road up to it, but is it really worth it.

    personally my theory is that there are accidents because:
    A) people are drunk.
    B) people are racing, and don't know the limits of their car when they take that corner, or need to slam brakes.

    The other thing is there are quite a few accidents where there is a fast driver and a slow driver. And it's normally the slow driver who isn't looking at what's happening.

    Right so a 160 kilometres per hour might be dangerous what about 140 kilometres per hour? Really a QQ can do a 134 kilometres per hour!

    When I was outside South Africa in Botswana I noticed that no-one was using their mobile phones while driving apart from the hands-free-kits... There traffic cops are strict with this kind of thing. Then today in South Africa every single driver was talking on their mobile phones without a hands-free-kit! Why is that?
