Today the speed obsessed donkeys running the country announced the list of State Highways where they’re increasing the speed limits. Not announced: that the roads had been made safer by any metric.
I drove a short bit of State Highway today. (Due to some genius cost cutting my local bank is over 30 minutes away.)
On the way there I saw a car smashed in the back
On the way back I saw a different car smashed in the front!
Used to have a limit of 80

“But the Americans have higher limits”
Yeah, but the Americans have straighter roads on the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways
Plus they have LOWER SPEED LIMITS where sections are more twisty and dangerous. The speed limit changes every couple of miles!
Lower speed limits. Hmmm!
Plus they have huge pileups when there’s a tiny bit of rain or snow or smoke and hundreds of cars are destroyed. Lots of great YouTube videos on that topic.
Is that what we want? #NZpol
