It's a leftist preoccupation, and a bizarre one too, to slow down cars. It happened with a recent change of government in the Northern Territory - the long stretches of road that Clarkson, Hammond, and May drove on and others like it have been restricted...again. It's a political game.
The reasons always seem to alternate between safety, and when, naturally, that doesn't stack up, CO-2 emissions. It's hard to see that as being a serious reason coming from those whose idea of slowing down cars in suburban areas are many speed bumps and obstacles, and a general road design which seems to have one goal in mind - make you use the most fuel. But...there is no point trying to understand the logic of the safety-environmental-socialists. There is none.
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it. I think there are people on the world who just like rules and want yo be told what to eat, how much to exercise, how much to spend on a house or car and how fast to drive. They find it takes away...
Because quite honestly this country has become a self obsessed, image over everything, and to hell with everyone else state. It really hits home having been there so much. Ones I feel sorry for are the ones who never experience the other side 😊
Maybe this is partly why Brexit happened? People have too inflated an opinion of the United Kingdom. I'd much rather we were a small cog in a big wheel than vice versa personally.
I agree with everything you mentioned. Watch your mirrors! Look, look again, pull out, pass, tuck back in. The road conditions are amazing , the speeds shown make sense and OMG there are a lot of RS6 and RS4 Avants there!
Maybe there’s something in this about how people respond to restrictions? And actually you’d have less problems with alcohol and fast drivers if you weren’t so strict about it? They don’t seem to have a problem with disorderly drunks...
People in general do not follow laws they think are absurd, drug laws, speed limit laws, drinking prohibition, etc. In the case of drinking though I think it is much better to learn to drink responsibly first. It seems the more someone is...

Speaking of which.. I also prefer left hand drive now!

I wish we could Autobahns in the US, unfortunately we would have to retrain most people how to drive properly.
I think many countries would have the same issue. With the vast disyances in the us though it might be worth the effort!

It is also the country you can drink beer at 14. Driving is not the only thing they have a more sensible approach to.
