It looks like instead of pinging carelessness, we will soon be keeping people to the speed limit.

With the reducing of speed limits being pulled, at least this will give another way to reduce the impact of crashes.

Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won't reduce crashes, I'm going to point out that it's not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

No one who is going to baulk at this as an attack on their "right" to speed is going to stop to average it out.

Stopping is even more anathema to them than driving under the limit.

They'll just whine about it being "bullshit" to the rest of their mates.

Very true.
