Thread: Can you imagine Australia allowing this?

I like the headline, "run red lights". Makes it sound like there's no need to even stop. Nice way sensationalize it.

Nearly every state in the US allows right on red unless otherwise posted. I don't see this as much different. Though I never had it happen when I rode, I'd have just turned right then made a u-turn. LOL

I followed an unmarked cop recently on the Reid Hwy and a car chopped across lanes in front of them 4 times without any signals and they took no notice at all. Too busy chatting to notice maybe.
And I'm also against allowing drivers to turn left against red lights as the driving population is just too dull witted to do that with any safety.
This is why at certain light controlled junctions, especially in low socio economic areas (Main Roads Dept. words, not mine) in Perth there are red lights to stop drivers turning left but at others there are "Give Way" signs.
Lets have proper police enforcement of all rules combined with some education and a test to see if drivers have any grey matter at all before handing them a licence.

we have to legislate against stupidity.
in the old days and in nature the stupid just kill themselves off.
we seem to want to keep stupid people around though.
