140 Speed limit on Bulgarian motorways! On main roads 120, and then varies of course.

The trusty Renault Clio is going well, easily sit on 140, even if the attached image is less. Got up to 160, not intended, was overtaking a few trucks and had someone sitting way too close to my rear bumper.



Mind boggling that we are restricted to 110, imo.

When we start teaching learner drivers properly* we might be able to relax some of our road rules.

*As opposed to going for a drive to the shops with mum or dad counting as 'training'.

More noise that a road use charge for electric cars is inevitable ?

“ the treasurer gave his strongest indication yet that he is developing a road user charge, which would apply to drivers of electric vehicles who do not pay the 50.8¢-a-litre fuel excise.

EVs comprised 7.7 per cent of all new vehicle sales in the first half of this year, but their share of the market must grow rapidly for Australia to meet its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050.

The Commonwealth collected $15.7 billion in net fuel excise in 2023-24, with warnings this could disappear as petrol-driven cars are replaced by EVs.”

If you want tax cuts, find ways to raise more revenue: Chalmers

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has warned those who want tax cuts that they have to find ways to improve the budget bottom line to fund them – but a GST change is unlikely to be one of the measures.

Agreed, we should follow the German system!
