depends on where you are and who catches you I guess.
There's a copper in Port Fairy (the town where I work) who would book his own grandmother if he could find a reason. He's a total prick. The guy at the station who works for V-line is the same. He LOVES rules and if he can't find any, he makes his own up just for amusement. But there are some who'll be a bit nicer and give a little leeway.

Driving along the Great Ocean Road
which is a road made for fun if ever there was one, we overtook a Subaru Impreza WRX, which was doing slightly under the limit. I didn't know they could go that slowly!

Not that we were really speeding (well, not much, especially by British standards) but the limits seem way too low on certain stretches. The USA's the same. And to be honest, it's spreading here now too. But in the UK, I can sort of understand it. We've got far too many people, in the south east especially, and it's very crowded.

But in parts of Australia there's nobody for miles. Same in the US. I was pulled in Death Valley for driving a little too fast. But there's nothing to hit!

mmmm well not much I can do.
but it's a response to all the accidents there were years and years ago - used to be much higher apparently. I don't remember it - I was too little.

Yes, I know
Not really a complaint, just a comment. And a bit of a rant. I like a good rant from time to time, and this is one of my pet subjects!
