Titleless - the paradoxical claim

I have taken my thoughts, with origins from a dream I believe, and taken them one step further...thought about them more. You see it is one thing to think [arguably possible in terms of cognitive ability] and another thing to think more intensely.

Now that my daily 'useless thought' has been opened up on the World Wide Web, I can now begin my actual post - Safe Speeding...There is such a thing. I am sure the Australian Police Force have propagandised most inhabitants of Australia with the ever-so catchy slogan aimed at society 'Safe Speeding...There's no such thing' but is it really worth it; and better still, is there such a thing as safe speeding in the first place? However, I can honestly warn people of the lengthiness of this post as I have been researching the issue for some time and the subsequent bias that may follow leaning towards Victoria and Queensland (reasons to follow), whilst not making me an expert though of course!!

Budget Surplus = Stupid Government not spending money on infrastructure, or better still, advertising to slow motorists?. My aim now is not to persuade ones political views of right/wrong nor to persuade one into voting for, let's say, One Nation Party but simply to indicate a claim from the majority of Australia that since we have money to splash around where is the harm - evident in the Speeding Kills campaign(s)? The cost of speeding-related accidents across Australia, even magnifyed to a State Level cost, has been splashed across websites, newspapers, radio, and other forms of media but they don't seem to announce that often how much the campaigns actually cost.

Personally, I have been involved in an accident INVOLVING (not due to) speeding as the driver and have paid the sonsequences - wasn't focused on the road myself but on my radio channel (of which you can only guess the frequency is!) and before I know it the orange signal had changed to red resulting in a delayed braking; of which costed me 3 demerit points, $50000 odd worth of damage to my father's BMW 535i, and the worst cost of all...pyscholgical trauma. I cannot go past the area at which the 3-car-accident occured without flashbacks to the incident, nor can I bear the possibility of the accident occuring ag ain - 1st car was written off so the driver was saying at the time and 2nd car was to be repaired but the time lost at work, supposedly, had just lost the respective driver his job. The reason why I am telling you this is because I am not a sadistic being that wants people to speed so there is more fatalities on the roads of Australia but because, with experience in the 'other side of the argument', so as to speak, I aim to speak independently free from vilification. Although the incident had speeding as a mitigating circumstance, so they would say if the Police was even remotely interested in my speed at the time, the 'direct' reason was lack of concentration particularly at an intersection.

Now, it might be time to move onto the cost of the incidents themselves whilst they are, metaphorically of course, coming out of my ears - "Each year speed related crashes cost Australia in excess of $1 billion." http://www.sdt.com.au/SPEEDTHEFACTS.htm, "Speed-related crashes cost the community [Queensland] approximately A$180 million per year..." http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinfo.nsf/printable/rs_campaigns_speeding, " The estimated cost to the community of speed-related crashes is about $500 million a year." http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/advertisingcampaigns/speeding.html - to name a few

Moving ahead, I would now like to discuss lingo used by the RTA and other advertisement making bodies all over the country utilise (please e-mail me ommitted jingles that, at the very least, were made post-1987):
1. Safe Speeding...There's no such thing (or word order differences)
2. Speeding Kills
3. Every (k) over is a killer
4. Please, slow down
5. High Speed. Low IQ
6. ...5 k's difference up there makes 27 k's difference down here
7. "I don't think there's anything wrong with it"..."I [certainly] don't think it's dangerous"..."[Look] I'm a pretty good driver"..."I can't see how doing 10 or 15k over makes any difference"..."She doesn't want your excuses"
8. The negatives of speeding...You kill...You maim...You disable...You disfigure...No positives...Just nightmares...Forever...Expect the worst
9. Exceed the limit by any amount [and] expect the worst
10. Slow down...Stick to the limit
11. The faster you go the longer it takes to stop
12. Has your car got a nut loose at the wheel
13. Speed camera z(60)ne
14. 50km/h on local streets will save lives

To this extent I would like to commend you on your efforts of reading thus far and I shall hopefully conclude this issue of calamities & ideologies in tomorrows edition...good-well deserved on my part-morning!
