Italy raises speed limits (link)
speedo

Some good old Italian common-sense prevailing here. According to an article on MotorCycleNews, it seems that the Italian transport minister is considering raising motorway speed limit to 150km/h. He goes on to say...

psychologists and doctors say people who go faster drive better and are more careful, and that only 9 per cent of fatal accidents were caused by speeding

Unfortunately, authorities in NZ are unlikely to be too interested given their historic attitude towards speeding. "the faster you go, the bugger the mess" dont you know. To be fair we dont really have motorways of any significance so dont expect to be legally doing 150km/h anywhere near Hamilton anytime soon.

So that does it I guess. Time to pack up and move to Italy. Better weather, tastier food, cheaper wine, close to the Ducati factory and now a faster speed limit. Ciao !!!
