Reading the Your Views article on speeding (Journeys Dec/ Jan 2020), the drive to Launceston is a task, especially with idiots that don’t like doing the speed limit. Then you come to mad truck drivers intimidating cars etc, and roadworks – again, no one gives a hoot. We need a train system from Wynyard, picking up people who don’t want to drive to Launceston. Imagine a pleasant drive without all those idiots. And the train can carry containers, dropping along the way. I, for one, would take the train to Launceston, not worrying about parking. Alternatively, duplicate the Bass Highway like we’ve got from Devonport to Burnie. Renny Grech, Turners Beach
I was a little startled to read that, according to Ian Martindale (Journeys Dec/Jan 2020), driving at 20 to 30km/h under the speed limit is ‘both irresponsible and dangerous’. The posted speed limit is the maximum allowed. It is not compulsory to stick to it and in fact there are many occasions when driving much slower is both wise and safe.
