Do they have speed correction in Australia? For instance u drive 85 according to your speedometer on a road where the is a maximum speed allowances of 80. Do they knock of +/- 3 km/h or something or does that not work that way in Australia?
ReplyDeletedon't think so, in NZ you can go 9km over its ok,.
DeleteThere is speed correction at least in WA, not sure of the rest of the country. The best way not to get caught is not to speed. There is never a good reason for speeding.
