It looks like instead of pinging carelessness, we will soon be keeping people to the speed limit.

With the reducing of speed limits being pulled, at least this will give another way to reduce the impact of crashes.

Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won't reduce crashes, I'm going to point out that it's not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

Nice.

On the Road to Zero point. The only way to reduce crashes to a near zero quantity is to reduce the number of cars and car trips. Which can only be achieved by providing viable alternatives to driving. Which would ideally be intercity, regional, and city trains that don't just cater to the 9-5 work day commuter.
