Re: Limiting cars top speed. Arguments for and against

when you think about it, there is no real reason why cars should go faster than 110, aside from the northern territory (and the autobahn where its most probably safer). what about some form of licencing, like CAMS, where if you demonstrate that you are a qualified driver after completing courses etc you get an allowance with your licence (kind of like auto and manual licences) that allows you to have a higher limiter. having said that, it is presumed that people who go and spend the hundreds of dollars acquiring this licence and therefore having the allowed top speed of their car raised, do not let other people drive their car, under the risk of heavy penalties. this would probably get rid of a lot of those 'stupid p plater does 200 and kills people' (thats basically the message that they convey) incidents as most fools wont spend the time and money going through the process, of course, ppl will probably have it done anyway, but if they are caught in a vehicle with a higher speed limiter and they are not licenced then they will be severely punished
