My thoughts exactlyaardvark wrote:I still maintain that the poor condition of some roads isn't to blame. If everyone road/drove to the conditions instead of blindly accepting that the posted speed limit is acceptable, then there wouldn't be a problem.

After many years of governments promising better roads I am disappointed of the outcomes. So I accept a crap road will remain a crap road until enough people die on it usually from inattention to the conditions. Until then ride to the conditions as Jason said.
However some roads have a ridiculously low speed limit for the way they are built as they are like 3 lane hwy's and others have ridiculously high speed limits as they are like 4wd tracks with gravel and water running all over them.
After all you wouldn’t use a 10R to round up the chooks would you! (Joe Beike Peterson comment)
