In Western Australia, speeding penalties scale with how many kilometres over the limit you were, and they come bundled with demerit points for extra spice.

During nominated public-holiday periods, double demerits can apply, so one brisk squirt can sting twice as hard.

Push it into high-range territory and you’re looking at potential licence suspension and a chat with a magistrate, not just a grumpy letter in the mail.

School zones and roadworks are policed like a hawk watches a chip, so treat the signs as gospel.

For exact fine amounts and point totals, check the WA Police Force or WA Road Safety Commission, because the figures and dates do change.
