OT- Speed limits in Italy

Sorry this is off topic, but I had to share it. I don't know if this is a hoax or not, but I found the following on Autoexpress.co.uk


Italy Raises Speed Limits

In a move which has outraged safety groups, Italy has raised speed limits in a radical bid to lower the annual 6,410 death toll on its highways.

Transport Minister Pietro Lunardi said it means a 93mph limit on motorways, and came about because research showed speed was only a factor in nine per cent of accidents. He added: "All psychologists and doctors say people who go faster drive better and are more careful." Richard Yarrow


Gotta love the Transport Minister's reasoning.
