    The mind boggles ! they dont need any more than V6's for Pete's sake ! but someone somewhere made a decision and used "to target road casualties" as an excuse.

    Everyone I have spoken to says its a load of shit. We are the 'hoon' capital, they are just encouraging people to go out and buy big V8's

    If the police can why can't I? Sort of mentality

    right so a cop car chasing a car trying to do 300kmh is going to reduce the rd toll ? it will mean they are trying to concentrate on the rd infront and on the patrol car behind them, meaning it should be instantly called off.

    Use a chopper FFS and im not excusing the doosh bags trying to do 300km either, haha

    Also chases have to be called off at 180kmh iirc.

    This
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
