    Just need more money than sense and hasn't happened as yet - but then cars that are older than the ADR change are getting fewer on the road.

    If you looked at that 100 sign as you drove past it then you would have seen the 60 sign on the town approach side, a rookie mistake speeding up before reaching the higher speed zone.
    oh really?

    you know this place do you?

    you are so wrong.

    IF you stuff up and get caught then take it sweet and try and learn from that mistake, Whining about a coppers body odour or his attitude after being stupid on the road generates absolutely NO sympathy from this little black duck whatsoever.
    Agree. Also, a lot depends on what sort of a day the Policeman has had. If he/she has had a smartarse before you, your chances of sympathy are zero. So it's yes officer, no officer , three bags full officer. Thank you officer. You may not like it, but if you get pulled over by that officer again, it will go better for you. I always have my Garmin on line when I travel, with my 245 tyres my speedo is not accurate, the GPS gives me the correct speed. Also gives me red light cameras, and Hwy speed cameras. Attitude is everything.

    Yes but in Victoria even if your car cannot go fast enough you can still get a ticket - as evidenced by the Datsun 120y fiasco a few years back.

    As a general rule the speed signs are posted on the same pole, Have a look next time you pass one

    A big issue here in the country are signs that are overgrown. Obviously they don’t change that often so you generally know where they are and what they say if you are a local. I do call the council for signs on council managed roads which are the main offenders. But certainly a trap for visitors..
