Default Beware the Bait on Logan Motorway

Two occasions now:

Loud V8 maroon H series Holden that speeds up and slows down to encourage a race. Has an accomplice in a small Jap car trailing behind. They get fed up if you don't take the bait, tramp ahead and pull over to the side in wait for another potential suiter.

Not sure if it's anything to do with police, but anyone driving the Motorway knows there are so many reduction zones, because of roadworks, chances are they could just be getting their jollies trying to get others caught.

That's not bad. I was doing 100km/h in an 80 zone and got $223 fine and lost 6 points. But of course, it was a public holiday. It was around 4:30am, on my way to work. For anybody who lives in Canberra, it was on the Monaro highway just before the new jail that's being built.

I just thought it was bloody ridiculous. The 100km/h postage sign was about 30 meters in front of me.

Unlucky mate, that whole road should be 100km/h. Most of our 80km/h roads could be 100 zones actually :
