Neither of us, been here 2 and a half years. We both seem to know what the speed limits are - the signs are a give away and if they're not then the rules in the book are quite clear. We don't feel the need to keep our eyes on the speedo, have no problem judging how fast our cars are going. Patronising? perhaps

2 Parking tickets, 1 Speeding fine, Pulled over last week for no seat belt - $235 fine, 3 points on licence and 'I told you so' from the OH.

I am shocked at how many people have had speeding tickets, really, it is not hard to keep to the speed limit (other than in the really anoying 25kph road work zones when there are no people there).

I also don't have to stare at my speedo to know what speed I am doing. If you have been driving for any amount of time it is second nature!

Yup. I haven't had one for about 10 years but managed to get one in Darwin - luckily a few weeks before they brought in the demerit points system in NT

It took about a week for me to get the ticket and cost me about $120 I think. nice picture of the car though.

Nope.

3.5 years.

I've been here 18 months and got my first one the other day - driving at 115 in a 100 zone - $230 fine and three points!
It was a Sunday morning, it was on the highway and I was pelting back from the Port Fairy Festival to get back to work in Melbourne...I knew I was speeding for most of the way so it didn't come as much of a surprise!
But to be honest, when you're on an empty 100kmh road, it's very easy to go much quicker without realising.
Anyway, I had a fantastic weekend, and made it back to work in time, so no regrets

Which state does 25kph road work zones?

Even after 4 years I still reckon they should put the speed limits at the start of the road. I reckon VIC should also paint the speed limit on the road like they do in NSW. I also like the NSW 60kph ahead signs instead of VIC's method which brings you down to 80 and then down to 60.

I'm surprised at the number of law breakers.
Don't you ever watch the news and see the number of road deaths caused by speed ?

I assumed they were talking amphetamines.

Come on, don't tell me you've never gone over the limit? I'm generally pretty careful these days but I got caught doing 70 right after passing the 60 sign. I was slowing down, honest.

Try using the brake next time Trouble with men, just don't know when to take it slow................

I heard that rumour but thought it was just that .......

Oh my ..... I have been here 14mths and have 7 points on licance and just having a disagreement with traffic place about another 3.
never had any in uk.
Hubby has 6, and daughter has 6, although 3 was from her boyfriend.
Sure SA (adelaide) needs the revenue.

Yes good advice...I mean you never know, they might end up driving into a truck or something....

South Australia. It is a right pain in the ass, but people seem to stick to it.
