In all seriousness it’s always been the same ever since I can remember. Victoria has always been all in on the cameras, 3km/h leeway’s, V8 and turbo bans for P platers even back in the 2000s.

To daringly go back on topic, at least per media reports of fatalities, the new year is not really starting off any better in Victoria. Particularly unimpressed with the mud carter who it seems may have been trying the “might is right” driving strategy.
