The Pacific, Cunningham and New England Highways are dotted with small areas to overtake, where the road has a short section of dual lanes so slower cars can be overtaken. These are small enough that one vehicle can be overtaken easily, and sometimes a second slower vehicle, but this is made more difficult if the slower vehicles speed up on these sections as they sometimes do. So you gun your car a bit more than usual, running the speed up to get past the vehicles, then once past you let the speed wash off, dropping the speedo to a couple of kilometres above the speed limit before clicking the cruise control to resume your journey. I did just this, and now have a seven hundred dollar fine for it. (more)
