I guess 18km/h shy of double the limit didnt sound as exciting as double the limit.
Nice catch. They seem to be getting better and better at it too. May we see many more in the days and weeks to come.
But hey... if you lower the speed limits, YOU KNOW (without any studies) things will be safer, right?
"Domo arigato mr. Copato" Maybe just use that as your new phrase.... it's more catchy.
Instead of a mandatory suspension/impound, they should make you put a car tire on the rear of your bike for X weeks. That will make the bike so ill handling you won't want to do the speed limit, let alone exceed it.
I still find it amazing how they can just drop the speed limits on roads on a whim with no engineering or traffic study, which might make the road even MORE dangerous. They have done studies in the UK and the US that show just that. But hey... if you lower the speed limits, YOU KNOW (without any studies) things will be safer, right? They think they do, but having absurd limits, you bunch up traffic, which makes some drivers impatient and then you get accidents.
Ahhh - but it's all good.... except now if you are doing 100 in a 50 zone that should be an 80 zone.... instead of not getting a ticket you can bend over.... just saying.
You're making me feel old! I'm only 27 (28 in a month... s**t, I am old).I'm guessing you're almost 30? lol Seems unheard of these days.
My parents/teachers told me the same thing, but where I grew up we didn't have dedicated school buses or school zones with 5km/h speed limit "when flashing".

Well.. You can outrun a car that moves at 5km/h, which is a lot safer than trying to outrun a car that moves at 50. A car going 80km/h can run over your kids playing in the middle of the highway while coming back from school. Think of the children!!
IMO the irony of the whole thing is how people bombing around parking lots, tiny residential roads etc.... at 50 which in many cases is kinda too fast, but they go the same speed on a wide open country road. It makes no sense.

They could make you ride a bike that was designed at a tupperware party as well, then you will really want to stay under the speed limit.Instead of a mandatory suspension/impound, they should make you put a car tire on the rear of your bike for X weeks.

Where do they have a 5 km/h speed limit "when flashing"?
ok, maybe i am a little confused...it says he was no longer a "traffic services officer" since 1997...so is he still a cop?...or was he impersonating a cop...it's late...i'm tired...
