Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

I would like to call you something not very nice for such a lack of understanding but I will refrain. And it wouldn't be that constructive.

Well actually you are wrong but I can't be bothered to debate that point.

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

The other 59% get killed because of various factors, not paying attention (mobiles, stereos), tiredness, drugs, alcohol and aggressive driving.

Speeding is the number 1 killer.

It's not meant to be taken literally! I'm highlighting how pointless it is to speed to arrive at your destination faster. How many times do you see someone speeding pass you only to pull up along...

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

Re: Sneaky unsporting Bastards

I won't shoot you down, I 100% agree with you. Why everyone is in a hurry I don't know? If the limit is 100kph and you go 114kph on average you would arrive 7 minutes earlier travelling 100 km. Is...

Not statistics as such but stories reported in WA news papers. And also sent to me in an email from a mortgage broker (Think he could be biased)!

What's wrong with that? If we get enough people speeding the government can cut income taxes :rofl:

My point was that going back 40 years was a bit extreme. I was just using an example to highlight how long ago that would be. Being a techy I should have used Unix epoch time :)

Re: The Great Australian Housing Bubble

Does it? I thought it was $50billion, going back to a surplus end of this financial year.
