Yep, only advice you need to keep infringement free at all times of the year.

Also think of the money you can save by not buying radar detectors and vertical mounts.

shhh don't give the fucktards any ideas

WA = Wait Awhile

wait for 0.08 to be 0.05
wait for 60 to become 50
wait for Double Demerits
wait for more expensive fines

Stupid Commonwealth and holding out on funds to enforce WA to change road rules - has reeeeaaally helped looking at the fatality count

**end rant**

I'd feel safer if people were traveling 10-15km over the limit but watching the road, as apposed to sitting spot on the limit watching the speedo...

weren't there less accidents in some part of the world when they trialled raising the speed limit by 20 k's or so? or not having one? I cant remember where it was but there was less deaths because people really only drove as fast as they were comfortable with and because that was higher than normal speed limits, they were concentrating more on the road/surroundings than how bright their instrument cluster should be.....

those countries generally also have better driver education programs and a more expensive licensing system.


but it has been shown to reduce incidents by 'puting drivers out of their comfort zone'
