What's more dangerous 10km over or 10km under?

NB; NSW has speed 'as a factor' in around 42% of all fatal crashes, whilst not being necessarily the 'initiating factor' of a crash, such might be fog, inattention et al, or a combination of such. We continue to say 80% of crashes occure below the speed-limit, and that 0.01% of licenced P plate holders will die in a crash.

I do expect a reduction in 110km/h zones in NSW where applied to rural two-lane highways, and a reduction in the rural default maximum.

Agree 100%, ive never said its "unsafe" just not "safer"... again though, its very dependant of driving conditions as you've outlined.
Very compelling stat too that speed was a factor in 42% of NSW fatals, that stat seems consistent with the message that ambo's and police seem to say as well....
