How do you pay for speeding fines?

Are you not the person promoting safety by chicken strips?

And you're now admitting you speed and you disagree with most speed limits..

contradiction?

No contradiction. I don't speed to the extent I need to put my knee down to safely get round corners.

I could (not do!) 120 down a motorway with no traffic on it safely, so why the 70 limit?
Personally I would get rid of all "compulsory limits" and make them a "recommended limit". If you have an accident on that stretch of road and are going faster than recommended, then you get yelled at lots, otherwise no problem.

Nooo thats a silly idea. That would increase accidents so much. Anyone caught speeding will just say they thought it was safe to do that speed, and to be honest just because a speed can be reached doesnt mean it is safe. You have to take tyre blowouts into consideration because a blowout at 100mph+ will be a lot worse than 60 or 70.

So you can take ALL corners when you're out at 60 mph, without getting rid of you're chicken strips?

You dont have to use excessive/illegal speeds to get decent lean on the bike.
Some corners have to be taken at >NSL, hence illiegal speeds arent needed to use the full width of you're tyres?

But then I'm an awkward barsteward!

Fairly certain that it wouldn't be legal tender so they'd be likely tell you to pi** off just to be awkward-er barstewads...

Since when were pennies withdrawn? I still have several in my wallet.

Money's money eh?

No matter what selection of coins are included it in

Hmmm... I live 5.5km from what was until two years ago an unrestricted zone. Doing more than 140kph (85 to you lot) was frowned upon and excessive speed could always get a motorist slapped with a dangerous driving charge, which could mean jail time.
Interesting thing about the speed limits is that they were introduced as a measure to reduce the road toll, but since their introduction road deaths have increased by 50%... Go figure.

Blowouts? Look after your bike a little better... Hitting something at 60 or 70 can have the same final affect as an impact at 100... and without full protective gear (you!) skin will still give way to bone.

Did'nt say anything about withdrawn... You don't have rules governing amounts and denominations as legal tender? I figured you would.
