We have been working in Adelaide, Australia for about 4 months. The first thing we noticed is that everyone obeys the speed limit and there is no red light running. There are many speed and red light cameras and fines are very stiff - over $500 for 6 miles over the speed limit. Consequently driving is pretty chill and we see very few accidents or problems. Everyone is on their good behavior. Also, they have cameras to see if a cell phone is in the driver's hand. That is a $400 fine. I feel a lot safer on the road here than in the US.
