I thought hang on FFS I was thinking of going back and abuse the cop, but for the cars behind me pushing me along I was thinking of.

Do the cops in QLD still have to pull you up to give you a ticket or is it just sent to you in the mail, not sure if in car radar does send out like the Vans do, I think they still have to pick you up.

Dunno about Police states like QLD but here you MIGHT get a caution the first time, but if you get caught again automatic 3 months of walking/ thinking time for being 35+ over the speed limit.Been a couple of roadworks people killed or seriously injured in the last few years so the law takes a very dim view of speeding idiots
