i love the ones you come up on doing say 110-115 they 105 and not overtaking , no cars around , they (not always) see you and actually move over ...THEN GET BACK INTO THE SAME FAR RIGHT LANE LIKE WTF?
then some in the right lane....oh traffic is heavy so slow to 60 (next car 300m in front) .....doh!!! multiply this over and over and yep you guessed it ....carpark stretches back and sometime to a stand still .....
yet the govt does NOTHING about education re right lanes just want to sit a speed camera all over your trip every 5 or 10k's .....
we were on these limits in sheet heap of cars 30/40 years ago , now cars with airbags and all the safety features protecting us more ...get the same
road toll has come down hugely as a consequence & with wayyyyy more cars on the road
110kmh on a 4 lane highway puts you to sleep, 130 would make for more aware drivers
dont want to do 130? no problem , find the left lanes
but hey lets penalize to balance the govt books so we can cover our(govt) BS spending habits
like kerry packer said ......i avoid tax (legally) as best i can because you buggers dont know how to spend it!

From what i've experienced up there its a case of swings and roundabouts, what you lose out on the swings by getting stuck behind someone doing 100 in a 110 zone you more than make up for on the roundabouts when you all blast through the roadworks marked as 25 zones doing the same 100...
