 The song is based on a series of speeding advertisements released by the TAC (road and safety authorities), who are even mentioned in the song.One TAC advertisement in particular that was in heavy rotation on Australian television in the early 1990s featured young people driving in a car on a country road.The atmosphere in the car is jovial; the driver is speeding, though on a country road he doesn't seem to mind and the passengers are not wearing seatbelts.
