You know what annoys me.... speed really isn't the only major factor in most accidents, its normally one of many contributing factors. (Like: "But officer I just took my eyes off the road for a second and slammed my foot down on the accelerator")
That aside you look at the majority of road users and nearly all of them either speed, or are the other kind of moron who sit 20km/h below the speed limit just to annoy everyone else.
What you do notice after this realisation is that most of these drivers aren't dead, in accidents, or otherwise jailed, because its really not that dangerous when you keep your brain in gear, and are not irresponsible.
This aside speed the drug is very dangerous.
Also on a final point..... only pollies live in Canberra so he is doing the nation a favour IF he really is putting lives at risk. Amiright?!?!? (jokes)
I'm just sad no one went with the "wait a minute thats me" joke....
