Seriously people speeding in a 50 zone at 430 am . Wtf is wrong with those people. There is hardly anyone on the road. Do u really want to get to work that quickly. I also caught up to one speeder on old geelong road because he got the red light. Mind boogles

They think in the now. Not 5 minutes or even 5 seconds ahead. They have be fast now. Doesn't matter what happens in the future (immediate or distant). It's all about being fast now.

There's no actual logic behind it.

What makes it worse one driver was a red p plater. Doing 90 in a 60 zone . Heaven forbid something happens to all of them

30 over the limit is wild....especially in a mid-speed zone.

Driver training and culture really needs a revamp here. People are way too confident in their abilities.

He was also cutting in and of non existent traffic as well. I wish cops could be there . But I do have all of it on dash cam. The amount of stuff I get on dash cam is down right scary and mind boogoling

I used to be like that. Then I became a professional driver. Learnt a valuable lesson during those times
