4.5 minutes makes the difference between getting to work on time or late

I use my phone and drive all the time - speed limits are so low and traffic that bad when you get into Melbourne that it's a minor risk.

Seems to be a very Melbourne centric thing, caught up with my Adelaide counterparts at their branch and one was saying he couldn't believe how openly people use their phones driving around Melbourne, no one hides it, everyone does it.

With speed limits I'm generally doing speed limit + 20km/h as it's just a few points and a few hundred bucks

So if it's the Tullamarine Freeway I'm doing 120 in the 100 sections, 100 in the 80 sections and if it's the 110 limit on the Calder I do 128km/h because of recent changes in VIC
