    number one cause of highway deaths? Drunk driving

    Yes because the police should only focus on one specific aspect of a much greater problem before moving on to the smaller ones.

    Much like they lock away all of the murderers before they get on to the rapists.

    despite no evidence speeding causes accidents

    Are you serious? Hammering along at 20 over in a school zone is going to cause accidents. A driver doing 200kph has a much higher chance of crashing their car if not just from the simple physics of it.

    If you double your speed your stopping distance is squared. Going just 10 km slower is going to take many meters off your stopping distance should something happen in front of you.

  5. Re:Can it be adjusted for de facto speed limits? on Smart Cars Tell You About Road Signs · · Score: 1

    True fact:
    Due to the marvel of beurocracy it is possible to repeatedly get caught speeding in Australia whilst never actually losing points.

    The trick is to write a cheque that is around $2 over the cost of your actual fine. Your bill will be cleared and they will send you back a nice note saying that you've overpaid and here is your $2 in cheque form. Never cash this cheque.

    If you don't cash the cheque your points are never processed because the account is outstanding, however the fine has been paid so your doing nothing wrong.

    That or you could go get a Northern Territory license with no points.

    Given that:
    A. Australia has no right to free speech, unless your a parlimentarian and use parlimentry privlage to say what you want.

    B. Australia is a consitutional monarchy.

    Something tells me that what your idea of left wing is may clash with that of Australias.

    However your point is correct, the Family First party is commonly known as the anti-abortion party.

    Can't get blood from a stone. If it does go to court, and they probably won't bother, then you will be stuck paying back $2 a week for the next 56 years, that I can deal with.

    Actually as far as I can see the phantom would be great for MMORPG players, they just pay their bill to the same company every month and don't need to juggle different companies.

    Furthermore it would avoid the ripoff factor of purchasing a game for $80 or whatever and then having to pay a monthly subscription, you could just download it.

    For gods sake Apples Ipod was not inovative, it was marketed sure but Creative had solid state mp3 players long before apple did. I absolutly fail to see where Windows wants to be OSX and as far as I'm concerned linux only wants to be OSX when someone applys a theme for it.

    Apple markets way more then they innovate. They know their Apple fanboys will pay hand over fist for their newest smooth peice of plastic regardless of the fact it is slower and does less then hundreds of alternitives out there.

    And don't harp on to me about reliablity and manufacturing quality. My AMD Processor has yet to let me down, nor has my Asus Motherboard or my Sony DVD Writer. Also my 5 button Microsoft mouse is just aces.
