So lets have a strict 5km tolerance for all areas Under 25 and get picked up for speeding/drinking instant lost of licence and those over 25 normal fines apply. As a forum member stated on another thread,towing their boating overtaking at 110km?should of if caught get instant lost of licence,may think it was safe.but you never know when one is to get blow out,possible death for those in car. unfortunately the stupidity on our roads never seems to amaze me. |

Download the Tower Insurance safe driver app & see how you go. It entails driving 250 kms without breaking ANY speed rules,( that means doing 50k's WHEN you reach the sign) & the gps calibrates acceleration & braking etc. I can tell you it's not easy to do, especially with 280bhp under the right foot but I'm here to say it can be achieved Meant a 20% discount on my insurance so well worth the effort |
