In the past when tolerances were greater she wouldn't get fined and the chances of a cop stopping her for the speed she was doing is next to nil. The fact that she managed to avoid any fines for her first 37yrs of driving proves that reduced tolerances are only there to increase revenue by attempting to catch driving that rarely exceed the limit.

We already have chaos in peak times so your evil plan may have already been implemented:-) Daryl

So, she didn't take into account the changes that were made. She as silly as you? :-P -- Take Care. ~~ Feral Al ( @..@) (\- :-P -/) ((.>__oo__<.)) ^^^ % ^^^

No longer a pile of dead bodies for the rest of we perfect law abiding citizens to avoid. I bet she caused koalas to fall from trees by the vacuum she left.. and if not defoliated gum trees so they starved. WON'T YOU AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO ADMIT SHE K_K_K_KILLED K_K_K_KOALAS. I hope they throw the cook book at her. Just when you thought it was safe to go out on the road.. be sure to watch out for the Qld police throwing young people on the road as traffic calming devices.
