It appears you are the joker which needs some waking up.
Same too for those joker traffic policemen who seems to have
nothing else better to 'book' than for such cases of so-called
'speeding' !!!!
From personal experiences of using the SJE over many years, it's
very obvious (to me least) that the 'speed limits' are too
unrealistically LOW in much of the times on those expressways
!
It's absolutely stupid, impractical even inefficient ! to
reasonably expect a modern bus (even an articulated one !) or coach
to 'crawl' along such expressways @ what ?? 60 km/h ?!!?? as if
they're driving on a normal (i.e. non expressway road) ?? What you
think they're doing then ?? Watching the night sky for bats,
admiring the scenery etc. ? I'm very sure the drivers & the
passengers too ! have many other better things to do than wasting
their time & patience putting up with such artificially low
speeds in such driving environments !!!!
Therefore i have to fully sympathise with the drivers of buses
& coaches in such situations ! It's only a matter of course
then that they have to so-call 'speed' on such roads whenever
reasonably possible, to make the most sense out from driving under
those circumstances !!!! Any policemen who tries to 'book' such
motorists are really stupid condemned idiots who deserve to be
placed into the same shoes of such bus or coach drivers for them to
experience 1st hand what the ridiculous circumstances of such REAL
road hogging is like ! Then (if they're of sound minds) they're
expected to understand why such so-called 'speeding' instances are
practically sensible & justified afterall !!
It has been known that the vast majority of accidents in the world
does NOT occur @ high speeds on the highways BUT @ 'quite low'
speeds @ traffic junctions instead !!!! The probability of an
accident occuring @ high speed on a highway is also known to be
LESS than on a normal road @ low speeds.
Therefore looking only @ speed per se to decide if that is 'unsafe'
or 'dangerous' or not is over simplistic shallow mindedness, say
the least !
You can be driving @ only 40 km/h along a small & winding
narrow road & still you're NOT automatically 'safer' than if
driving @ 100 km/h or higher on a wide straight & open highway
with plenty of view ahead !
So it really boils down to speed management rather than speed
itself !
It's definitely OK to drive fast, especially even on a modern bus
or coach or van etc., BUT under the appropriate driving
circumstances, which ARE available quite often, even when on the
expressways here.
What can be done instead is to have seperate lanes for PSV's like
minibuses or full size buses & coaches on the expressways,
something like the Mercedes-Benz O-Bahn system, although in this
case forget about the tracks just place say kerbs to physically
seperate the cars from the buses etc. This way, like in the real
O-Bahn system, the buses & coaches can 'speed' up to 100 km/h
on their 'own road' on the same expressway as the cars yet won't
get in the way of the cars or vice-versa !
So you have this 'high speed' lane for PSV's on the middle-left of
the expressway while the extreme left lane for other commercial
vehicles who can only manage a lower speed & keeping the rest
of the expressway clear mainly for the lighter weight vehicles like
cars.
That'll certainly make 'much more sense' out of the situation @
hand for drivers of the respective vehicle types & traffic
moves on the expressways @ a quicker & more efficient &
practical pace for everybody, WITHOUT compromising safety in any
significant manner !
