   Speed is not the issue

   A horse carriage travelling at 2 mph is just as capable of crushing an old lady or toddler as one that travels at 40 mph. But will it take a tragedy, like a horse buggy driver plowing into a group of schoolkids and putting 5 of them in wheelchairs for life, to get the message across?

   for those that havent visited mexicc aka melbourne recently, not only has the state govt sold all the freeways to private consortiums, they have put speed cameras on *every* crossover. ie cynical attempt to maximise revenue. obviously horse & buggy find it hard to exceed the speed limits hence find some other excuse for a fine....

   If someone is too stupid to get the hell out of the way of a 2 MPH horse and buggy they DESERVE to be run over and killed regardless of weather the driver was using a phone or not.
   
   Wrap yourself in cling wrap for protection, PLEASE.
   Make sure you cover your nose and mouth because a fly might fly in and you could possibly choke.

   Would you say that to an old lady in a walker? How about a blind person?
