old fart hoons

[JR]

agreed
160 in a 100 zone is excessive
but also agree with the fella's above
if i had a love one in the back seat dying, given the roads were quiet enough to do so safely, i would be pushing that right pedal and deal with the consequences later

+1
i'd do the same n plant my right foot down. i ain't gonna let some stupid cop stop me if my loved one is in need of urgent medical attention.
he can chase me all the way to the hospital if he wants, n deal with me at the hospital then.

back on the topic - at the rate they're going, vic police is gonna need bigger car lots to hold all these impounded vehicles!!!

1. Most people on here have no idea how to assess an injury and determine if it is life threatening.
2. You may not even know where the closest emergency department is.
3. You can't provide any medical assistance while driving to hospital. That can be provided by a paramedic in an ambulance
4. The very act of picking up the victim, placing in the car and then driving could cause the injury that is fatal.
5. Extreme injuries can be attended to by an air ambulance - faster than any car.
6. Extreme emotional situations are not condusive to good driving = any accident perhaps.

Don't worry, most threads run off on a tangent

There are some very factual points there in rj's post though relating to comments in other peoples posts...

[Vectracious]

love how with threads like these it straight away turns to cop bashing

Also to all the people justifying when to speed - I bet you if a family member or friend of yours was killed by someone speeding for whatever reason, you'd be the first to throw the book at them. x 2

Apparently over-the-limit speeding is responsible for very few deaths though, typically cited at between 1.5 and 5%, condolences to those that have suffered though.

I differentiate between over-the-limit speeding and under-the-limit speeding (ie going through an intersection too fast, but legally, or driving at the speed limit in the wet), as the government combines those statistics when they are preparing their speed camera stats. Which is stupid, considering that speed cameras only catch the former..
