Speeding are we stupid?

I woke up this morning to those asswipes Kochie and Co with calls for 90kmh speed limit on Australian highways.

Here's my take:
We have one of the lowest population densities in the world... necessitating fast transport.
We have comprehensive vehicle compliance laws.
We some of the slowest speed limits in the world (Japan slowest, Europe and USA is 130kmh).

We have below average accident rates for kms traveled.
We have some of the best racing car drivers/bike riders.

We have some god damn motherfu**ers wanting to slow us down EVEN further!

WTF is wrong with these people? If people are having accidents, teach them how to drive!

I've driven all over the world USA/Europe/Asia/Middle East and we are by far the slowest of them all, except Japan, cos Japanese women can't drive (some cultural thing).

The people who want a max speed of 90kmh are the same c***s that want us riding bicycles, not eating meat, paying carbon taxes, drinking our piss, etc, etc...

Am I missing something?
Is the answer to a couple people dying, to slow right down so that you get so bored you fall asleep or start playing with your in-dash DVD player/GPS?

If I'm driving at 130kmh I have both hands on the wheel and I'm focused, telegraphing everyone's move, if the phone rings I aint answering it!

If I'm driving at 70kmh I have 1 hand on the wheel, I start to look around, change tracks...

I've only ever had 1 accident... while driving to the beach (kitesurfing)... I was going so slow that I reached over to get my gatoraid bottle from the passengers footwell... and bamn a little fender bender...

That accident was caused by me driving too slow, and I should have lost my license or at least got some points cos I clearly demonstrated my inability to drive properly.

But no, the retarded mother****ers took my license away cos I was going 90kmh down a country road with no intersection on a DOUBLE DEMERITS day.

The animal kingdom can master speeds in excess of 100kmh.
The rest of the world can master speeds in excess of 120kmh.

So we either declare ourselves too damn stupid to drive at normal speeds, we shut the f**k up speeding or we learn to drive at normal speeds!
