    It all about revenue gathering...

    Speeding isn't the problem, It the people who can't drive is the problem,

    What they should be doing, It ticking the people driving 15-20kms under the speed limit, They are the problem

    i dont care, the speed limit is there for us all to obey, get caught and pay the fine get over it,

    what annoys me is the bull **** excuse, instead of just calling revenue gathering.

    Well said. Its all about revenue gathering. They got a taste of an extra 5 million last summer, and now they are after more. There'll probably be a lot of ****. I mean, do they really expect every single speedo in NZ to be accurate to within 1km of the actual speed? Time to invest in a radar detector i think. Not that i speed all the time, but oh please forgive me for doing 110 when over taking someone doing 80-90. Call a spade a spade and cut out the bull droppings.

    I agree with all of you. The speed limit is the limit. But to make up those excuses and enforce the roads so heavily - I'm sure there are better ways to waste time. I think I'll be saving up (my future fines) to invest into a V1 radar. I don't always speed, but I also don't want to have my eyes on the speedo half the time I'm driving.

    Looking at speedo all the time is not a safe way to drive

    V1s are amazing, but pricey.
