Can’t help you on 40 kmh zones but there’s heaps of evidence that the Covid restrictions used around Australia have saved heaps of lives.

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.

Posted by who?   We had a senior cop saying a few years back on 3AW the VIC road toll should be zero !!!  What a f'wit idiot.

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

I gotta say I am sick and tired of the restrictions now. Surely 1 or 2 cases means get back to normal. Just call it now and lets all get on with it.

My personal favourite is the family I know of who were told they had to stay home without electricity on Thursday instead of taking their 5 kids to the grandparents house because it was outside the 10km zone.

Meanwhile scomo is over in the UK.

God forbid he dial in to a summit.

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

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?

I’ll  use  two  finger  spacing  for  you.
A  car @  40kmh  gives  you  and  the  car  more  time  to  avoid  a  collision  and  greatly  reduces  the  said  impact.

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 am gobsmacked that people are not understanding the logic I pointed out. Clearly you do. I think we are in the minority.

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.

My bad, I thought I read somewhere brothels were open.
