I fully understand what you are saying. I get it. I used to own a racecar so I too like to go fast
The history behind Australia moving to speed limited heavy vehicles stems from many issues over many years and ALL to do with road deaths, there were 2 significant heavy vehicle crashes in New South Wales in the 1980's, plus we have/had a section of road that was called 'Sesame Street', it is the Hume Highway that runs from Melbourne to Sydney, some 500 miles. Some drivers/companies would leave late, running express freight and expect to arrive early at the other end. These trucks were doing big speeds on roads that just weren't designed for the speeds they were traveling at, the Hume Highway back in the 1980's was mostly single lane, it is now all freeway
One of the HV crashes - Kempsey bus crash - Wikipedia
Another one - Grafton bus crash - Wikipedia
A monument to truck drivers killed on the job. The monument is located on 'Sesame' Street (Hume Highway) - Home
*If* speed limiters are required how will it affect you?
