Sand & Speeding Don't Mix.
Nick, my eldest son recently spent some time on the World Heritage Site of Fraser Island which lies off the Queensland coast in Australia. The island is the largest one in the World that is made entirely of sand and it is visited each year by thousands of vacationers in their 4-Wheel Drive (4x4's, SUV's) trucks.
With it's near straight eastern shoreline being 120km (75 miles) long, the beach is the main vehicle thoroughfare and is designated as a highway complete with all the mainland road rules.
Here Nick has captured an image showing the beach's 80kph speed limit sign. Ignore this and you run the risk of a speed camera toting policeman emerging from the brush saying; "Smile, you're on Candid Camera!"
