Australia - 20 mph over is instant loss of licence for 3 months plus a fine of around $500.

Additionally, some states run a 'double jeopardy' weekend. If you are caught speeding on these weekends it is double fine and double points.

A total of 10 points gains an extra fine of up to $400 and loss of licence for 30 days. A 15 kph over is 1 point (9mph) over 15kph is 2 points.

All of this along with static speed cameras reaps millions of dollars for the government.

Mmm and they say the cameras are to reduce speeding and accidents.

Interestingly the cameras are placed in low accident areas but high revenue areas....

Who is pulling who's chain...
