I think the intention was to get people to check their speedos and make them watch their speed. What both found is that some people considered this a challenge to see just how fast their cars would go. But how they reacted to this I think is indicative of both good thinking and stupid thinking.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In Victoria they simply placed a maximum limit of 117 kmh. So they get to keep the benefits of the sign, and there is no point in trying to go to you car&#8217;s maximum speed.<\/li>\n<li>In NSW they turned of the signs in disgust. So they lost the benefit and wasted a lot of money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This is typical of how the government reacts in NSW.\u00a0Because\u00a0people know they will react this way, the politics in the media is driven in a quite hostile direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A while ago both Victoria and \u00a0NSW put up big electronic\u00a0signs\u00a0on the Hume and Pacific Freeways stating your speed.
