I would be prepared to forgo the ban if the bloody old dodderers would drive at the speed limit, not 30 k's below, and were required to pull to the side of the road whenever another vehicle was behind them and wishing to overtake .

as usual Brian,,
you think the world is there for your exclusive enjoyment-

you drive your car,
let the rest of the world drive theirs---

I agree with Brian!

I used to do around 60-65000 miles a year in the UK. Dodderers & Sunday afternoon drivers give me very bad road rage. I mean, how hard is it to look in your rear view mirror & see you're causing a traffic jam?
My view is it's a courtesy thing - if you want to potter along (& let's be honest we all enjoy pottering sometimes) then keep an eye out. Either speed up or pull over & let the driver in a hurry get on.
I do think Oz speed limits are ridiculous on the main roads. Maybe the Gov't thinks Aussies can't drive?
Qld. Gov't has announced extra speed cameras in the new budget, that they expect to bring in millions of dollars per year. So there we have it - at least one Gov't has finally admitted that it's revenue raising & not about safety.
