I think your idea is noble, but the target audience of a "Fast and Furious" type movie would have forgotten the message by the end of the movie!!!

Same thing happens in WA , a lot of trucks here will tailgate you at 110KM/H ( GPS ), and try to bluff you into going faster , I am getting to the stage now that if I notice a truck catching up to me at the speed limit I will get off the road and let them go for their coit , its not worth the agro of having one of these boneheads sitting on your arse . So much for these speed jocky,s trucks being ltd to 100Km/h .

A couple of years ago I was driving to Sydney on the F3 (now called the M1) and as I entered the freeway a semi-trailor went screaming past. I was curious as to his speed and I reached 130kph and he was still leaving me in his wake. I gave up and went back to the posted speed limit of 110kph.Yep, so much for speed limiting heavy vehicles. Speed limiters should be sealed so they can't be manipulated.

Lets just get the bloke out in front with the red flag. End of problem

Down here in Vic this would make the pedestrian council happy. The way they are pushing to further lower limits(there has been a push for 50 kay zones to be lowered to 40) they may as well go back to the red flag.
