The road to my town
had the second speed related fatality in 12 months along there last night

the guy slid sideways for over 150metres before exiting the roadway and
into a tree, all this in a 60 zone

the one last year they estimated his speed at around 140kph when he left
the road and slammed into the stand of saplings

So I can almost be positive that the road will be included in the next
update of speed camera sites

Its' not the roads with a few nutcases on them, it's the roads with lots
of cars regularly going slighty over the 'limit' that get the majority
of the speed cameras.

Wonder why.

Doing 140kph in a 60 zone is speeding and will likely get you killed. 65 in
a 60 zone is speeding therefore will likely get you killed.
