What would it take to get higher speed limits in Australia?

Wait until you have some more life experience and then you'll understand that govco legislates for the lowest common denominator, aka the fuckwits.

luckily you're in NZ where speeding fines are way cheaper than Aus lol
and apparently speed camera fines in NZ don't have demerit points
lucky!!

mobile cameras in vic have to be visible to motorists they cant hide, u may not see them but there will always be a point u will pass them and know they are there but then its too late, but the simple fix is do the speed limit and its all a non issue

well many people still seem to speed without getting caught
I wonder how on earth they do it

Most of them would just 'roll the dice' and hope for the best, then wait 2 weeks...

Yup. I did something a few weeks ago, touch wood, no court summons yet in the mail so I might be in the clear.

look at how much money the speed cameras are bringing in, are they really not getting caught or its just luck for that time

But they'd lose their license eventually from demerit points, but I still see so many cars on the road everyday.
Surely if many people got caught speeding and lose their license, there would be far less cars on the roads

You need to stop worrying about what other people are going and get on with living.

ohh lucky! haha
but how do people know the mobile cameras are there on a freeway anyway? aren't they hidden?
or do apps like waze point out all the speed cams (both fixed and mobile)?

In Perth, a white dualcab ute with canopy on the side of the road is a giveaway.
