Is it just me or do these auto-license-loss-at-some-pathetically-low-speed laws just remove inhibitions about top-end speed? I mean, if there were graduated fine+points penalties for 20km, 30km, 40km, etc. then I'd be more likely to get to 130-140 (on a 100km/h highway, at night, no traffic, I don't speed around people/suburbs/schools) and then back off thinking 'I don't wanna lose too much if I'm caught'.

As it is, I get up to 145 and at that point I'm gonna lose my license and get a $500 or whatever fine anyway, so my general feeling is 'fuckit, may as well be doing 180+ since it's more fun'.

You easterners have all the luck, you've got Oran Park, Eastern Creek... Adeliade city centre... Evil or Very Mad

Over here we just have Wanneroo raceway, which you might be able to drive on once a month if you pay $100ish. Oh, and apparently there's something out at Collie but from what I've seen it's hell dodge.

edit: I for one fully agree with Goose. The government spends $$$++ on building a gazillion skate parks for 13-year-old streetkids so they will sit around sniffing glue instead of vandalizing peoples' property, why can't they simply give permission for people who actually have jobs and contribute to society to use pre-existing resources (roads in industrial complexes with no buildings around them) to practice driving techniques in a safe, controlled environment? Obviously the solution is for us to set fire to government buildings and scrawl obscene messages on trains. Works for the skater punks anyway. :/

I must admit 180 plus is fun
