Before people should be allowed to speed, skill tests need to be harder. That way it can be assumed all drivers are competent enough to maneuver at high speeds.

I would LOVE to see harder tests. Most of this thread, based on what has been posted would fail.
Why don't some of you geniuses tell me why, out of every number available, exactly ONE HUNDRED kilometers per hour was chosen as then national speed limit. Why not 95? or 117? Could it be because lawmakers were unsure about what was actually safe and guessed at their favorite number
