In Australia, everyone keeps exactly to the speed limit. You know that it's changed when all the cars around you slow down or speed up. On the motorways, you end up travelling a hundred kilometres with the same constellation of other vehicles locked into cruise formation. That giant 18-wheeler which started out the trip 20 metres behind you is still there at the next town.
New Zealand is more like the wild east. People drive at crazy breakneck speeds around the twisty roads. Everyone is going just faster than the speed limit ... or a lot faster.

Seems like NZ is the place for me. The rule-following Aussies drove me crazy - where do you speed????? :) Clearly I'm a Jhb driver!
ReplyDeleteDublin is just the same as NZ - I felt right at home!
