Minimum trip time with minimum stress. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted Monday at 11:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:31 PM In Victoria if you haven't been pinched for speeding in the last 12 months and are not far over they will waive it. Also they take off 3 for error.. It's the deadly red light change you have to watch. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of countries where this is custom/law enforcing what should be a courtesy. Any driver/vehicle that is not maintaining the speed limit (subject to road conduction) should either pull over to allow the que to pass or be pulled over by the cops.😈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfGnome Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM Isn’t it amazing how bad drivers are these days? I mean, when we were young, we were all really good drivers and no one ever got killed in car accidents (I think the weather was always nice back then too). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted Tuesday at 05:45 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:45 AM Nsw has gone too far . A school has been demolished but the sign's and fines are still in use . One or twi k's over the limit . Fat chance, when you get a $ 500 fine for 0.05 of a second red light camer . What is that in fractions ? . Just driving too slow . Shows '' not safety " only revenue raising. ( it was green as I started ) . spacesailor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
