Speed limit to be changed from 80km/h to 100km/h

[redmanjp]

^ i think they ok with it according to an article

[Joshie23]

100 too slow. It should be 140 kph. I get sleepy driving at anything below 130 kph. You spend an unacceptable amount of time driving from south to Pos at 100. Productivity would be greater at 140 kph.

170 or nothing

Even better.

170 is too odd a figure. And 180 gonna make everyone remember the oppression of 80. I say 200 and we should be good.

AuTTobahn

Fixed.

[speedist]

Practiced at 100 this morning. Very nice drive. Only some teedaaahs pickups a loaded truck and a police xtrail with no lights or siren on fly pass meh

Wetmen doh have speed limits dan.

Pickups can drive at the new speed limit of 100 km/h.

I tell you to be prepared for many more road related deaths and accidents.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

accident ched gonna be more active than usual

[Dizzy28]

Ya'll need to work PoS.
Speed limit only becomes an issue when you on personal runs on weekends. Other than that its an average of 24km/h you making during the week.

[redmanjp]

They were supposed to debate this today. What was the outcome?

Ent! An increased speed limit eh changing much for the vast majority of ppl who have to drive during peak hours. Congestion have us crawling waaaay slower than any speed limit. Or at a standstill wasting gas in a long line of traffic.

[INHUMAN]

120km for cars etc, 100km for vans etc and 80km for heavy mv etc... Thatd b sufficient

[Morpheus]

That not changing behaviours much. Only when you can get a ticket.

I've always said I'm more concerned about other stuff, sudden lane changes without indicating, bumpering, crossing solid lines, hogging the right lane, shoulder driving....err....speeding, headlights off in the night, etc, etc.

Clamp down on the other stuff too. Our "leaders" really blank upstairs yes...

[redmanjp]

Well when those speed cameras are given legal effect we will be getting tickets. At least we will have 20kph more leeway

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Speed cameras but vehicles still registered to previous owners? That ticket in the mail thing need to work properly.

Not a problem. If you so stupid to sell your car and not do a proper transfer - as far as the law is concerned - you are still the owner. So you stand the bounce and pay the ticket!

This is correct, ask any police, it is an offence to not transfer a vehicle after it is sold within 7 days I think. I not sure if there is a fine/penalty attached to it

Who said anything about not doing proper transfers? Yall so quick to be c#nts.

Vehicles transferred properly and vehicle STILL in previous owner name. That's what I'm talking about so my point remains.

This is true.

Bought car (transaction done) at LO and did transfer immediately. Went for CC a few months later, car still on previous owner name, they can't find paperwork although I had chit. Had to waste time and money to go through process a second time.

When I did my transfer in caroni, paid for my certified one-time, when it came, name was still on previous owner, girl took it back and carried it back for them, got the corrected certified in about 20 mins. On the online system, the engine change was done but the previous owner name was still there, did not check it recently to see if it change though

If gas goes up, we will see how many ppl will actually use the new limit to its full extent

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Driving faster going to cost more now. That is why they planning to raise the limit.

From the comments I've seen here I know I'll get bashed of my statement but y'all rely don't get it. 80kph is ridiculous for a 3 lane freeway in 2017 where the braking distances of vehicles have drastically decreased from the 60's. It hampers productivity when people need to great distances to and from work everyday. Y'all try to get from south to port of Spain everyday and back without going over 80kph and see. You spend an unreasonable amount of time on the motorway. Here's where some idiot going to comment and say they commute everyday from south at 80kph and it's fine. But it isnt. And don't get me wrong. I don't condone wreckless driving but accelerating over 100kph is not being wreckless on a freeway

umm we dont have a freeway here in trinidad or tobago.
a freeway is an express highway where there is usually not a set speed limit.
there is however a penalty fine if you go under the recommended speed

i know braking distances have been better in never vehicle as well as braking technology ...

however the human reaction time has not....evolution hasnt changes us in 40 years to have lightening fast reflexes ...ability to dodge bullets etc... in addition having drugs stimulants / depressants and alcohol in our system affects the way our brains make judgement calls.....

age as well as poor vision also impacts our abilty and reflexes.

you can feel free to drive at whatever speed you like... just be sure you cud stop and you have your 2k ready to pay if caught.

i say leave the speed limit and pave all the damn rd properly...and enforce the law...

u probably got a lotta time on ya hands mate.

if ppl incapable, then mop a drop, easy stuff.


wrt human reaction time, u wud be amazed at our capabilities!

[Zim]

Hope they don't....

Hope they don't....

THIS!

Now we will really see Kantish driving on our roads.

BTW - Has the death rate on our roads increased or decreased for the year?

If it has decreased, why raise the speed limit?

If it has increased, why raise the speed limit?

u shud try driving in Chaguanas n environs, men INSANE!

U make sense n I agree, 80kms, 50-60 years ago, heck yeah! Now we live in a more fast pace world and cars have adapted to such. Way better suspension, brakes, engineering etc.

100 km/hr still kinda low, but it will work for now.
What they have to do now is charge vehicles going under a certain limit on the right lane.
Most of the traffic (esp. in the SHH.) is due to one slow c**t trying to pass ah next slow c**t, and one could never pass the other. Seen this sh*t happening over and over.

[cryotec]
