Thread: Sydney M7 open

Last time I used the M5 I was done as a truck but that was because I had a car trainler on the back and they claimed the length is what pushed me over not the height.

Matt said it best.
And while I'm at it, I'm anti frigging e-tags. When you get country bumpkins like the missus and I visiting once or twice a year, trying to find our way around is an ordeal at the best of times without working out what road you can or cannot use due to Macquarie St back room deals, and then if I choose to contribute to some faceless corporations coffers to drive on a road the bloody state should have financed and be pinged extra because I drive the vehicle that I do (to cope with the $h!tty road conditions out here thanks to the lack of state and federal funding)........

How long has the sydney harbor bridge been in use for? How much longer will people have to pay tolls for until the cost is re-couped?

If memory serves, it was paid off about 15 years ago, but they left the toll on it to pay for the tunnel.

<span style="color:blue">if you have a look at the price board.....
it says cars with trailers pay the same as cars....

not trucks......!!


it takes me longer to get to work the expensive way than it does the toll free way....
go figure.....



for every return trip i do to work using the the toll ways.....i could an extra 200kms
in fuel for lurch.....

fuel to work and back equals around $90 per week....
tolls would cost $21 per day = $147 per week.....

(a saving of fuel for aces bqqs....... )</span>
