40 zones still annoy the crap out of me and I'd love to see the stats on their impact on road safety.  Id wager minimal impact statistically.

I'm sure you can find information around if you look. Quite apart from that, the logic that lower speeds make cities safer would be pretty watertight I would think.

I reckon if we take cars off the road the roads will be safer

Good grief, go stand in front of a car doing 40, then try one doing 60 and get back to us…

Had to read it a few times to make sure you weren't telling me to go kill myself.

40 zones aren't just at schools you know right?

The energy of impact, kinetic energy, varies with the square of the speed.

Double the speed you hit 4 x harder, speed up from 40 to 60 = 60/40  = 1.5, , so 1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25, or 225% more force.

Impressive.

Let's make top speed limits 20 then.

Another 250% slower.

You've convinced me its a great idea.

Actually let's make it 10ks instead just for good measure.  Will take 4 hours to communicate 40 k's but its all worth it to reduce the road toll to 0.

I read a pretty funny analogy about Sutton earlier. It said if he worked in the botanic gardens, he would run weed killer through the sprinkers to kill all the weeds. No regards for all the plants and lawns, but the weeds will be dead.
This stuff makes no sense now. You can go to a brothel but not a gym, FFS fellas.

FYI both gyms and brothels are currently closed in metro Melb.
