Australian residents were surveyed about a range of issues relating to driving speeds, speed infringements, perceived and preferred speed enforcement tolerances, and attitudes towards speed enforcement measures. Telephone interviews were conducted during May 2002 with a sample of 2,543 people aged 15 years and over residing in the mainland States of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. Results of the survey indicate that, while Australians say they normally drive within the speed limit, six in ten indicate that they sometimes drive at higher speeds and one in five has been booked for speeding in the past two years.
