I guy the speed influences the outcome regardless of the factors you mentioned?

That's crazy aye! Rode that just before change in speed early December. New signs were in but 80 was covered. 100 was safe on most as the road mainly straight. 80 on the hills and twisties could be warranted but lots of it I couldn't understand why?

Also: Lower speed, greater fuel economy; more money for beers. Double bonus.

If anything maybe from Rai Valley, or even the Nelson side of, to Hira would have made sense, sort of

people had their brain removed when issued a driving license and need to be told what to do, more reliable than thinking

We've just been on a big trip from Christchurch to Nelson through the centre and back via the coast, and I consider the roads to be good. If people are crashing it is because they are driving unsafely, not that the roads are poor.

south island roads in general are a lot better than the roads we have up north. I went over saddle road a couple of weeks ago, the road surface is falling apart and no one is obeying the speed limit except for me.

Yeah the trucks are tearing the surface up.

Keeping the other driver on His side of the road would help mightily !

Perhaps more freight could be moved to rail to reduce the need for trucks?

If that is so, there must be no crashes in the South Island?

Which has what to do with "still tourists keeping you in work" Or is that you finally admitting you know something that you don't know

with covid trashing the rest of the world our boarders need closing tighter than a drum, we would need less housing, less fuel is required, less electricity used, less pollution of our lands and waterways and less weakening of our cultures and way of life, stuff the one world philosophy, make NZ great again. If you moved overseas well stay there, tough biscuit.

That is tantamount to treason saying "make NZ great again". NZ is already great, are you saying that NZ sucks?
Perhaps you need to move to Australia and sit in your V8 if NZ is no good.
