The really really really rude thread- Let it all out

[V8Ian]

That's just being reasonable Ian. How could you in a really really rude thread

You could then poke your tongue, or various digits at law enforcement. Rude enough?

No breaking the law in Western Australia
Apparently we are not allowed to go through red lights or speed to get out of the way of an emergency vehicle

Emergency Vehicles - WA Road Rules

Why would there not be a common rule for the whole of the country???
Road rules should be the same every where, especially getting out of the way of emergency vehicles
I’m agree with others, if there is a ambulance or fire engine behind with there lights and sirens on and you can safely negate a red light intersection then I would, Ive never had to, the most I’ve had to do is mount the kerb and run over someone’s well manicured verge

I'd defy anyone to obey to the letter this extract " Flashing lights on a stationary vehicle means approaching vehicles must slow down, move over (if possible) and pass at 40 kilometres per hour"
If safe to do so, I'd be happy to pass at "no more than" or "up to".

Which is a shame as it was well written, honest, and I don't think offensive in any way. Probably out of line for this thread then!

Exactly. POD may re-post it again but it is his decision at the end of the day. He said he was a bit ****ed off & tired at the end of a what sounded like a hard day.

It puts a new slant on the situation.


Brad. Yes it certainly is but it started out as a Grumpy olde bastard's experience so that must qualify, shirley?

That is fine if one is approaching said vehicle but this one snuk up behind me. Well not actually Snuk, because it had Blues & Twos going, but you get my drift..

If its an emergency vehicle,thats law in some states,but not in Qld.

And no all states can't have the same rules,because that would be sensible.

As mentioned to 4bee by PM, I usually keep to a policy of not discussing work on the internet, it's just not a good habit to get into in any occupation that is in the public eye and perhaps especially a health profession. I entered the discussion against my better judgement whilst sleep deprived but thought better of it an hour or so later, hence the delete. Just starting 8 weeks of long service leave, so sleep deprivation will not be an issue for a while

'Selfish' woman from border checkpoint video arrested, window smashed

By Rachael Dexter


A woman who last week posted a video refusing to answer questions posed by a police officer at a Melbourne checkpoint has been arrested in dramatic fashion today.
According to Victoria Police, members from the Dandenong Frontline Tactical Unit arrested the 28-year-old Warrandyte woman following a vehicle intercept on Princes Street in Carlton about 1:55pm


"The woman was intercepted on Princes St as police wanted to speak to her following an incident at a vehicle checkpoint in Bunyip on 23 July," a police spokesman said.

The woman was asked for her name and address, her licence and an explanation for why she was travelling – all of which she refused to give, and was arrested.
"During the arrest, police were forced to break the woman’s car window as she refused to speak to them, wind down her window, or step out of the vehicle," the spokesman said.
"The woman has been released pending summons for traffic-related offences, failing to produce a licence, failing to produce name and address, and breaches of the Chief Health Officer’s directives."

Interestingly she has not been charged with her previous actions but that obviously prompted to cops to track her and bust her during her most recent drive. There must be flaw in the rules that stopped the cops from charging her over the her original interaction with the cops that was filmed.

Our species is doomed......

She'll remember this intrusion into her daily selfish, stupid life if only for the fact she had to pick herself up from the bottom of the stairs that she accidentally fell down at the Cop Shop.


Oh yes, plus the window that the cops put through. I hope it costs her a Motza.

"I’m sure she’ll be looking forward to a knock on the door from Victoria Police members," she said.
