I shouldn't think that they would need to advertise, we should all be driving safely all the time. The best you go on is the one where you get home safely.

To everyone out there have a great Christmas break!

Cruise control will be getting a good workout over the next week.

They've stopped advertising ever since the revision to the demerit points system were 10km/h over is 1 point instead of 3... meaning its only 2 points under double demerits. Sneaky sneaky.

Pretty sure demerit points only apply to me if I get fined in the ACT as well (ACT license)...

I've been told to not use Cruise Control for the first 1000 kms. Hmm.

If I had a new R just before Christmas I'm not sure I could trust myself driving it lol.
:p

I don't have any problems with using cruise...I'm nearly up to 100,000kms

For W.A. it's double demerits until the 9th of January, so don't get caught out after the 3rd.

My fuel economy always improves when double demerit points are in force.
From this arvo on the way home...surprisingly had a really good trip home. Usually down here on the coast its packed and there is a huge traffic jam on the Princes Highway from Nowra downwards...but today was good.
