fair enough. As much as I do believe speed kills I see too much "provocation" (for want of a better word) of the law being broken. The amount of times I see people sitting in the far right hand lane doing 90km and no one to overtake in sight. Is it any wonder why people decide to undertake?
A classic example is where the gateway motorway in QLD turns into the Houghton Highway. The idiots just move over to the new right hand lane with not a car in sight of the front of them forcing people to undertake them

I think there are too many Europeans on the road who still want to drive on the right... and do. !!

I am just used to driving on the left, and ignore anyone in the right lane as I go past them.

Not many places in my area are over the 80 limit, so for me it is almost always totally legal.

I have to say that I have been here 12 weeks nearly! and I've never seen so many crashes...they just drive so close. We also get a lot of cyclists near us (we are Bayside Melbourne) they go down the beach road like the tour de France, saw one crash into a parked car the other day and go through the screen.......that really shook me up.
Makes me laugh how no one flashes you out but EVERYONE will flash to warn you of a police camera coming up!!!

I went back to England at Xmas and I drove all of the journey as the Narrow Shoulders wasn't keen. She remarked at the end of the trip that she had never seen me so relaxed in a car before. My reply to her was that driving in England was predictable. In Aus it is completely unpredictable
