Enjoy the trip! There are only a few things that take any real concentration IMO... (the same that we have to concentrate on when driving in the USA!)

Here, of course, it is the LEFT turn that "hugs the kerb".... and unfortunately we do NOT have the very civilised blanket rule that applies in the US (to right turns).. You can ONLY turn left "on red after stopping" where specifically allowed... The number of intersections where that IS allowed is slowly increasing (here in the ACT anyway) but the US rule is far, far better!

Take note that ".05" is actually a pretty tough limit... it doesn't take a lot of booze to go over that reading....

To get a fine from a red light/speed camera here you either have to be speeding through the lights (DUH!).. or trying to go through WAY too late. The camera isn't triggered until very late in the process.. so late in fact that the "flash" is a perfect signal for folks turning across those lanes to hit the accelerator.. cos their turn arrow is about to turn green...

I don't understand the constant complaint about "revenue raising"... if you don't do the wrong thing you don't contribute!

"I was driving at a safe and prudent 130 kmh in a School Zone.. and I got booked... Why aren't the Police out catching the real criminals???..":D

Sure we've all heard a (perhaps slightly less intense) version of that'un!

I am on the road for up to 8 hours a day, every working day, and I can avoid getting fined (2 speeding fines in 25 years... both well deserved!).. it ain't hard folks.....


Don't get the 83.... Victoria must apply a "no leeway" rule.. which I'd agree is a bit much!
