ELI5: Why in the hell is the NSW Learner limit 90km/h even in 110km/h roads?

I drove to Adelaide on my Ls, did 105 in the 110. It wasn’t like I had just started driving, calling it a death sentence is a bit dramatic mate. It is if that’s your first lesson ever, but by 60. 70, 80 hours? You should be able to get on to a highway and be able to hit 100...

Correct, but largely irrelevant to the point I was making. They also have looser tolerances in that monitoring to what we do, so I’m sure they’d say they’d hate to have our set up.

I’ve lived in both, that’s not correct at all. They incredibly different. Weather, road design/construction, speeds, light conditions are all very different between the two.

As said any way you want to skin it they have a lower toll than we do, that includes per journey and per km driven. You can try hand wave that all you want but they’re doing it better.

Are you trying to say most deaths on the road are due to impatience around learners? That’s a big claim. Back it up please.
