Mr Silver...

I don't think it would have made a difference had Silver been driving the car.

As a female driver, I don't think i'm treated any differently than say when Ian (my dear) drives. (I am on a provisional licence until May as i obtained my licence just before coming to Australia.)

You're lucky you don't live in Western Australia & get caught on a long weekend. Double demerit points, double the fine. No if's and's or but's.

Can I ask you the following q-Do you think the speed limit is just a suggestion? I sometimes wonder if i'm the only one driving the speed limit.

Ps-I've only been stopped once but that was Ian's fault and he'll never live it down. For any Kiwis out there-He made me drive over the harbour bridge in Auckland BUT i'd only been driving a very very short time.. They pulled me over as i was going a bit slow & there were reports of a drunk driver!!!
