The mind boggles trying to think why on earth someone would do this:o:
"A motorist has been caught almost six times over the legal limit outside the funeral for one of five teens killed in a car driven by a drunk driver at Mill Park."
Drunk driver causes havoc at crash funeral
More Police cars showing the colours would certainly help, but State govt. policy dictates revenue raising is more important than lives, they want cops hiding with radar guns and unmarked cars to bring in the loot, it's not the Cops fault, they are just following orders.Quote:

My son was taught to give way to his right at roundabouts, which is totally wrong, but it will get you through the test, also have you noticed how most people when turning right swing way to the left before turning right, as if they were driving a semi-trailer, another trick to please the licence test inspector.
All these so called Driving Schools are teaching incorrect driving right from the start.
Education in schools from say age 10 till leaving to change attitudes and compulsory off (driver training track) and on road driver training so as to cope with all circumstances that WILL happen in the real world. Regards Frank.
What is the correct thing to do?Quote:

So just a loose translation of the above is taught...Quote:

Welcome to Bogunville?
If someone enters or is on a round about on your left if they are 1st you have to give way have to give way, all cars on the round about before you in NSW anyway:)
And if you have to cross white lines on two lane round about you must signal as well as give way to cars in that lane not just exit though their side door
I do doubt that a zero blood alcohol limit would cause businesses to close. A zero limit would just boost bus and taxi services as people would still drink.Quote:

So it would not be a nightmare for the government to enforce a zero alcohol limit.
If you are going to take a lot of alcohol containg medications or eat those Rum Balls, you would then need to catch a Bus or Cab, or have a designated driver.
As Tombie said, translating that into one sentence gives "give way to your right".Quote:

I always indicate left when leaving a roundabout and I find it annoying when others don't (very common in Horsham and there are lots of roundabouts here).
