In QLD the (//) signs according to the traffic act and several HP officers I checked with was supposed to mean 100km/h. It was not until they lost several speeding cases due the (//) meaning end of speed limit at a federal and international level that the (//) signs were removed. Another was the requirement to have a manual licence to drive a BA Falcon 4 speed auto as it is possible to change the gears manually. Police do as they are told and sometimes what they are told is incorrect. Of course they are still Police and therefore will ignore your protests and do what they are told...... |

It got into all the newspapers and on TV back in 2002. The original wording said something like "manually change gears" and had nothing to do with how many pedals. It got sorted rather quickly after it was challenged in court and the media got hold of it. |

Unbelievable! If that was the case, you should have your manual licence for most if not all auto cars as you could technically manually shift the gears.
