Red-light cameras have pretty much put a stop to #5, thankfully. #6 works! I've borrowed my Dads old Kingswood sometimes, and it's like parting the red sea or something. #14 is my primary annoyance on the roads. #20, however, is more like "The Green light isn't there to regulate the flow of traffic, it's there just so you can floor it, be the first, and show all the other drivers you're compensating for a very small willy." Guess it ties in with #22. Sydney needs a #24, something like "Remember, it is your obligation to be talking on your mobile phone at all times. It takes priority over sundry activities like indicating, or looking where you're going. The only looking you should do is for police cars, so you don't get booked" John, who shouts "Get off the phone, ya dickhead!" more often than is probably advisable.

New Zealand drivers are pathetic (I know cos I wos one) - funny thing is that each time I visit NZ I revert to the aggressive mad driving style so common there yet when I get back to Sydney I am happy to be polite & wait (except I do get realllllyyyy pissed at those bastards who drive in a T2 or T3 lane in Sydney during peak hours, with only one person in the car - I am guilty of giving intense British 2-fingered salutes to them. (T2 & T3 lanes mandate that during peak hours there must be 2 (T2) or 3 (T3) passengers in a vehicle using that lane. Purpose is to encourage vehicle sharing. 'cept some Aussies are just rude drivers & ignore the signs (not enough police to enforce them). Cheers Doug (now in HK where I don't know what a car is :-)

But was it a "real" 31 mph zone? - (wharris2) - (16) - Jan. 15, 2002, 02:58:40 PM EST

It was in Finland, and based on his income in 1999 - (nking) - (15) - Jan. 15, 2002, 04:58:40 PM EST

Is that like income-based income tax? :) -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Jan. 15, 2002, 09:34:33 PM EST

perhaps a loss of driving privileges would serve as well? - (boxley) - (7) - Jan. 16, 2002, 09:02:52 AM EST

Yes, but then again, it wasn't all *that* bad; only speeding - (CRConrad) - (6) - Jan. 16, 2002, 10:52:41 AM EST
