25% of drivers caught speeding in the last two years

[Cath]

A government survey says almost 25% of drivers surveyed have been caught speeding in the last two years


I wonder what our stats are?

Fark I hope I'm not tempting fate by voting 'no'

[Blurr]

i am surprised i have only been caught once

[robracer]

Once was enough for me, 3 months on the sideline was my punishment, fat lot of good that did

Typical gov survey though, I mean it's a pretty loaded question, because by answering any one of those options means that you are admitting that you speed, just that you haven't been caught. There is no "I don't speed" option.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I don't speed, but just see it as a loaded question.

I got done once in 2008 (ACT) and once in 2009 (NSW) the ACT one was under 15 and the NSW got dropped to under 15 if that is of any use...

[Cath]

Sorry Frank - the questions are mine. I have no idea how the government survey was worded. I like your new username

I figured it was unlikely there would be anyone on this forum who has never once exceeded the speed limit, but saying you haven't been caught speeding in the last two years doesn't necessarily mean you do speed (though I agree it does strongly imply it!). I mean, I've never been caught murdering anyone either

[Frank]

Fair enough, I thought it was the typical gov type surveys, that I'm used to seeing based around my other chosen sport

[robracer]

Frank did you get a haircut? you look diferent

[tim]

I voted no, although I went through a speed camera over the speed limit but nothing in the mail yet

ps, Cath, what's with the Avatar?

[Cath]

How long ago Tim?

Nothing is with the avatar - I just found it amusing in my head

[matchan]

once in the last 2 years in a corolla hire car of all things and in Adelaide, and no, it wasn't Ardy

[fireyrob]

Bugger, should have read the Question properly Answered No but been pulled over twice but without fine

[smithy5]

I am on the road all day every day and averaged well over 120,000 klms per year up until the last 18 months. Now probably 60,000 per year...... I exceed the posted speed limit every day, yes every day.... I was last pulled over in 2005 got done for less than 15 klm over 82 in a 70 zone..... Can't remember the time before that, at least 10 years or more ago........

And I'm with Tim on the Avatar Cath ......... are Congrats deserving at this point in time to you and Dave ?

[Cath]

Ok, I'm changing the avatar, since it's obviously not amusing others the way it amused me.
And hell no - congratulations would not be in order! Though you could congratulate me on the new bike addition to the family any time
