Fair call; if that were untrue there'd definitely be more such stories on Today-tonight & more public dissatisfaction... but what cheeses me off is, inappropriate application of speed-limits and speed (revenue) entrapment.

e.g. Where is the logic in being able to do 100 kmph on the Princes Fwy in piddli' rain with 4 lanes fully-loaded but you can't do 108kmph on the same 4 lane freeway in dry ideal conditions, on a Sunday with no cars within cooee?
Imho 108, 110 or even 120 kmph in such locations/conditions is not unsafe... and this is all about road-safety i$n't it?
