I've been living in the US for 4 years now (from Australia) and I find driving in the US, with their inconsistent-to-nonexistent speeding fines have caused driving to be a real pain - everyone drives at different speeds, mostly 10+ mph over.

Went to Australia last month - driving was so nice (yes, also to the Gold Coast). Everyone does the same speed (more or less); you can see cars in your mirrors and know they're going to be roughly in the same spot a second or two later when changing lanes :) :)



Thanks for your perspective! This makes me wonder whether wherever one has first learned to drive feels most right.

That said I haven't been to the US so not sure what it is like.


Wonder if there is a correlation between speed limit deviation and trust of government.
