Got noticeably worse in the last 12 months with budget cuts, everyone knows how damn unlikely they are to get caught. |

Most of the folk driving faster are not paying for it.

That must be why whenever I'm going down NSL B roads and come up behind a car, they're usually doing 40... it's so frequent I thought for a while the law had changed and I'd missed it.

I have noticed that!
New game is when they appear dawdle for about 30s (enough for the average audi driver to get p***ed off) then pin it for 10s and bugger off

OMG the number of times recently i've come up behind people to find them dawdling at 40 in a 60. Really grinds my gears! My conclusion was they either didnt see the sign or they can't feckin drive

And extended re-tests, there's another rant. Get punished 10 times for one crime. You should pay your fine, serve your ban and that be that. Quote:
As for up north/down south... up your bit of north they "care" so much as to be complete c***s when they reckon something dangerous has happened to the point of creating bigger dangers themselves. Down here people are just going where they are going and just sort of get on with it, without much if any consideration for anyone. Down south, dunno really, seems to be half and half between people timidly refusing to do anything at all or over exaggerating apes, testiculating wildly over some non-existent insult.
