Just to add to this, (sorry...)
In Victoria, effective as of today, is this little piece of arseholeness...
If you are caught doing between 25-35 kph over the posted limit, (that's 15-20 mph in old money, give or take)
We now have the privilege of a 3 month license suspension on the spot - no question. Park ya car/bike and organise a lift from someone and a tow for your car/bike.
And a new maximum penalty of driving while disqualified, $38,000 max fine and up to 2 years at a government sponsored establishment, even if it's your first offense.
Pricks.......
