Several Points:
1. On a recent trip to melbourne, I was astounded when at 60 kph I was passing
everyone. I also went to Bells Beach for a day and again was flying
past everyone when I was doing 100 kph. Point is that speeding camera's
do work. In Brisbane, if you do 60 kph down Wardell St you're passed by
EVERYONE. Mind you, I don't want them in Queensland, but you can't argue
that they have no effect on speeders.
2. I have found two ways to deal with tailgaters (a practice I abhore). The
first is to continue to slow down the longer they stay too close.
Then, when the opportunity to pass comes along, speed back up to the speed
limit. Very funny results (specially the time a Red Mercedes got booked
for overtaking us).
The second, and far better, is to wire your car up PROPERLY. First, ensure
you have a high-mounted break light. Then wire your brake light switch in
parrallel with a switch on the dash. When anyone is too close, flick the
switch. Next, turn the rear window cleaner nozzle to point straight
backwards. BE VERY CAREFUL USING THIS ON MINY MOKES AND MOTORBIKES! For
added effected, put food colouring in the washer bottle.
