You will get caught speeding fleeing for your life from a bush fire in the colony

Unfortunately bush fires in Australia are an all too common reality.

Also, unfortunately for the convicts in Victoria if their home is burning or a bush fire is travelling at a greater speed than the posted sign says, where the motorist is speeding to save the life of his/her family, then they have another hazard to contend with.

Victoria Police.

That's right, in their infinite wisdom and incorruptible manner Victoria Police WILL fine motorists travelling faster than the designated limit for that stretch of road, but not the bush fire, obviously.

Three cheers for Victoria Police.

But if you're the wife of a Queensland police commissioner, your 'infringement notice' will get torn up.
