Inner city freeways like the Monash and Tullamarine wouldn't be suitable for those speeds so should stay at 100kph. His main comment was about improving driver standards which no one can deny does need to happen. Daryl

Australia's land area is more than 7 MILLION sq km. * He failed to mention that Germany has a stunning public transport system. Australia does not. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |
