Interesting you mention that, a few weeks back I was coming home from work and I was stuck behind someone doing 60 in a 100 zone, there was a convieniently placed camera car in one of the only safe places to overtake in the 40km stretch of the road. When the slow driver saw this he slowed down to about 40, no fail, every time there is a camera car somewhere everyone goes even slower, same thing happened in Bulla, it jammed up 100m past the wildwood roundabout because there was a camera car on the side of the road and someone decided to crawl past it at 10km/h.

Me and quite a few others where stuck behind this guy for about 20km before he turned off, I just followed them because I didn't want to overtake on double lines, especially on this potholed, crappy excuse for a road, funny that there have been so many deaths on this road I'm talking about and it isn't considered a "black spot".

How the hell is that even possible? I'd assume you pretty much embalmed yourself if you got to that level, you'd pass out way before you could normally drink to that level unless you inserted a 2L bottle of whiskey into your anus so you keep taking in alcohol until you're dead.
