Road to zero has been an absolute failure so far.
Yes, instead of being negative about it, we could promote the number of deaths in an aspirational way. Treat it like GDP - the more the better. It's a sign of a vibrant economy.
That's right! Speed limits dampen productivity. We can't give into lefty loons who want to stifle our economic growth out of fear. I propose we remove speed limits on all New Zealand roads!
I realise you're being facetious, but increased economic productivity is one of the reasons behind the UK wanting to raise their speed limits.
The other is the fact that almost half of motorists break them on a regular basis.
You consistently have some of the dumbest takes I've ever heard, keep up the good work.
