In Australia we've got this weird thing about speeding. Anything over 5km/h and you'll get booked. Thanks to a series of ad campaigns by the police/TAC (traffic authority). Addressing the real issue that the driving test is stupidly easy, hence driver education is crap, driving is seen as a right, not a skill, along with a big drinking culture doesn't help.

It's a great country, beautiful in every way, and please come and check it out if you haven't! But the driving is crap.
