We also didn't go see prairie dogs so he could bark at them, or watch the trains, as we were using a road trip to escape a thunderstorm, sort of a mobile version of a storm shelter.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-7196624056120163642012-04-16T04:22:16.302-04:002012-04-16T04:22:16.302-04:00Bit late catching up with this depate because we w...Bit late catching up with this depate because we were away at the weekend. <br /><br />During 5 hours driving to Medowie on freeway where speed limit is 110kph, we saw at least 6 police cars booking speedsters. We were also overtaken by streams of green p-platers, supposedly doing less than 100kph. <br /><br />And I swear I'm the only one who obeys the 60kph limit on the M2 heading south!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806660109196835114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-56333250826219579072012-04-14T05:19:59.519-04:002012-04-14T05:19:59.519-04:00fmcgmccllc: Well I collect them quickly - but they...fmcgmccllc: Well I collect them quickly - but they are not so expensive - i son't know why - everything else is.<br /><br />SK Waller: No on a motorway like they have here. <br /><br />Me: I think the NSW police are much tougher than the Austrian police.<br /><br />CarrieMarie: Well I should have been more careful and stuck closer to another speeder.<br /><br />Smedette: Don't you have laws about using a phone?

But, given how much he is on the road, I am surprised that this is his first ticket although generally it is me that speeds and not him !<br />It is unfair that everyone else is travelling faster than you and not getting ticketed. <br />In South Africa we would drive about 150-160kph up the highway and never got tickets - apparently, not so much nowdays - they are generating revenue from speeding tickets at a rate of knots over there now.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-3581046489552315992012-04-12T14:06:12.785-04:002012-04-12T14:06:12.785-04:00120kph (75mph?) isn't all that fast, is it?

Here, our turnpike speed limit is 75mph and I always go <i>at least</i> 5mph faster than that.<br /><br />The only place I ever got a ticket was in Kansas, where small town police look specifically for out-of-state cars. Huge fine, plus it increased the insurance payment. <br /><br />Bastards.Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-25374320607187037542012-04-12T11:27:45.817-04:002012-04-12T11:27:45.817-04:00I went through a spell years ago where I was colle...I went through a spell years ago where I was collecting speeding tickets at a record pace.
