In Australia, speeding comes with a shiny set of demerit points designed to haunt your driving record. The exact points depend on how much you exceed the limit—typically, the more you speed, the more points you collect, like some twisted loyalty program no one wants to join.
Accumulate too many points, and your licence will be revoked faster than you can say “I was just late.” Check the official Transport or Roads and Maritime Services site for precise details in your state, or browse ServiceCentral for local rules and penalties.
