    Agreed, great rule and very necessary as I have a mate who's a paramedic. Just had to obey it earlier today, it was very visible from a long way with two ambulances and a paramedic station wagon all flashing lights.
    Can see it would be difficult to get much notice in some situations.

Yeah remember that, one minute. . . He's gone for a bit then comes out, hmmm got a bad feeling comin on - so sorry mate forgot to get them - AAAARRRGH pain in the but half a day gone for nothing. Poor dude felt really bad tho, will probably get them couriered for nothing on Monday.

    That rule won't work over here in WA... you would have to speed up to reach 40 KPH not brake...
    Stupid %$^#@% rubber neckers would still have the same number of prangs 'cause they aren't watching where the eff they are going... wankers!!!

    I find the SA situation a bit curious as well... used to be 40 then lowered to 25.
    Does that mean school kids are less likely to get bowled?
    If little Johnny is 'deemed' safer at 40 I would have thought big Johnny would be as well but I guess the logical progression will be to lower school zones to 25KPH

    Plus can you imagine road trains slowing down to 40km/h on GE or GN Hwy just to go past someone pulled over for speeding???

    It is 25kph past emergency vehicles in sa too
    I think 40 would be safer, slowing down to 25 on a 3 lane section of road with a 100 speed limit has caused a lot of near misses as some vehicles slow faster than others.

    Oops my bad... I thought I recalled a big push a few years back that changed it from 40 to 25.
    Googlefact tells me it was a push to raise it from 25 to 40 which failed (like my memory)
