They punish people for getting drunk in a pub?

And if you want a tour of the town it, it will cost you 50 cents.

That's if you go the long way.

Why are you surprised?

I'm sure we all know this one. Don't we?

Yes - reinforced by an experience last time I was in town - with a difference. I was in the left of two lanes approaching a roundabout. He overtook me about 10km faster than my speed and proceeded to use both lanes to enter the roundabout. Heavy braking allowed me to just avoid getting sideswiped by his trailer. Being larger, he did not need to slow for the car that was going to be in the roundabout before the back of the trailer cleared the lane - I had slowed because he was going to be too close to me on the roundabout. I could not see, but I assume he also braked heavily.

I was looking at the traffic approaching the roundabout, but fortunately caught a glimpse of the trailer rapidly converging on my lane in the mirror!

Ill see if I can find it but there was a really good bit of footage of a MC taking a left turn past a car that had stopped in the left lane of 2 lanes at the give way point of a 4 way dual laned round about. The car didnt move off, the truck overtook and turned left the last trailer pulled up over the front of the car and the truck rolled over starting with the last trailer then twisting up to the cab. The roll over looks like its slow motion footage but its in real time with the roll over of the back trailer completing about 5m clear of the round about and the truck laying out nearly perfectly straight in the exiting lane.
