Top speed required to get around those drivers hits the license pretty hard though..

Another one that sh*ts me is excess dimension truckies with pilot escorts.. They almost get completely off the road when vehicles come the other way but when it comes to getting waved to overtake by the pilot the bastards give you f*ck all bitumen to get round.. I've dirt bashed the ute several times overtaking these fellas.

Police... f*cking bastards pull you over for going too fast, being too low or loud etc...

And then add yellow stickers to your car? WTF? If we wanted graphix we'd put em on ourselves!

What about people doing 10-15ks under in residential areas. You have just had a sweet run home after work and turn off the fwy only to get stuck behind some muppet who thinks they will get killed if doing 60 in a 60 zone so they do 50. Then to top it off, the fker nearly comes to a complete stop before turning off.

Paulie, I reckon people do well under the limit because of fear of being booked for accidental speeding, such as doing 63 in a 60 zone, or because the speed limits in some built up areas change so much, that they are worried about sitting on 60 and not seeing the speed limit change to 50 and then get pinged for that.

These are probably people who have already been booked for very minor speeding offences a couple of times already in the last 12 months, have had a gutful of handing over money for a speeding offence where they were doing roughly crawling pace over the limit, and have come to realise that the system is set up to ping good drivers who keep their eyes on the road rather than just staring constantly at their speedo and ignoring what is happening around them.

A busy piece of rural road that I use on the way to work has something like 8 speed limit changes in about 9klm, ranging from 70 to 100kph. Many of the speed changes make no sense, as not a lot changes between zones as far as road conditions are concerned. With everything else that is going on around on the road, it can be easy to miss one of them even though I know roughly where they are.

This comes back to my original post in this thread about our speed laws and being scared of the consequences, with almost zero leeway from cameras and your typical highway patrol copper making you feel like a criminal guilty of a much more serious offence if they pull you over.

And after all, its not like they hand out warnings anymore.

Tailgaters.

The fktards that speed up and down my street. In 1km it has 4 raised traffic calming sections, 4wd utes doing 80+kph jumping off them.

Had the exact same thing where I used to live. One got a chair through their window from an old bloke down the street.
