The New Zealand speed limit has been 100k since the early 1980s the upper limit was set at an increased level because the roads were all tar sealed with a centre line and cars had descent suspension air bags now a majority of mountain roads have Road edge barriers, passing lanes and wider cut corners.

Why are the NZTA and the NZ Police so insistent on reducing speed limits on safer roads being driven with safer cars. Adults Drive to the conditions.

New drivers need more training and it should be law for every vehicle to be insured.
