Bloody hell, they actually listen to the oldies when it's about their own roads. What about the rest of us stuck behind tractors?
that to my commute. Every minute counts when you're already late for smoko.
meanwhile my school run still takes an hour because of the 30km zones. but yeah celebrate a speed limit reversal for the retirees. classic.
Good on them, safety first. Those highways are deadly when people do 110 past retirement villages.
mate they can get the bus if they're too scared to drive normal speeds.
ffs they used to drive 40 in a 60 anyway, what difference does it make 😂

Nah this is dumb. They slower down everything for everyone. Just put better signs and crossings.
Worked a job out near Speldhurst last month. The road's tight as, no wonder they wanted it dropped. Vis is crap at night.
to say when you're not the one getting clipped by a ute doing 90 through the village.
Why do we always pander to the grey vote while the rest of us suffer? Sick of these NIMBY pensioners.
and they still vote, which is more than the rest of us do apparently.
Lived here 40 years and the speed used to be 70. Dropping it back makes sense for the families walking to the dairy.
big ups to the grey vote eh 🥴
Honestly who cares, just drive slower. Saves fuel too ya mugs.
a thought for us parents doing the school run with a 30 zone every second corner. This is nothing.
