> 45 mph or 52mph, it's the same crap to me.

In Australia, you'll get a $100 speeding ticket for going 7MPH over the limit. You need to drive more carefully.

Next time the New York Times tests a car in Australia, I'm sure your tip will come in handy.
This is a law I could get behind. People regularly go 15 MPH over where I live--which is unsafe on the specific road I have in mind.

The road is not a personal time transport no matter how late you are!

In Australia you'll lose your license on the spot for ~19MPH over. (actually 30 km/h)
