Fast and Safe

An excellent site called Fast and Safe has been put together which brings some greatly needed facts to the road safety , rather than mere LTSA slogans.

They show how following LTSA advice, you would need 2 kms of clear space to pass a truck travelling at 90 km/hr.

The site has a lot of excellent data from NZ and overseas. You may disagree with their point of view, but they can back what they say with a lot of research.

Personally welcome a debate on whether the current focus on arbitrary limits and rules actually saves more lives than educating people to drive to the conditions.

I also support making people resit their licensing tests every five to ten years as a far more effective road safety measure.
