Or..... drive at 60 in a 60 zone therefore able to stop when the light turns to amber before changing to red, get no points. This offer is open 365 days a year not just public holidays in NSW.

No points if you change your letters instead if a go.

Better a fine/points and a 3 month ban than being the cause of an accident and killing someone. All for the sake of getting to your destination 1 minute earlier.

Sweet. Could you ask all those other twats with QLD plates to piss off out of Sydney so I can park in the mornings. Ta.

As to speed limits - they were devised at a time when brakes worked like the ones on a pushbike and tyres had a similar lineage. The speed limits are ludicrously slow and I exceed them (out of built up areas) whenever possible. I commute 300kms a day to Sydney and back and have never been done because a) I know where the speed cameras are and b) the traffic cops always sit in exactly the same places making them easy to avoid. And for everything else, there's Trapster.

Driving Miss Daisy? Get the **** off the road and ride your bike instead.
