those rules don't apply to sydney roads.... apparently.

 

I usuaully find on sydney roads in traffic the left lane is usually the faster lane, but not by much.

Fixed. Newcastle is just as bad, if not worse than Sydney as far as drivers who have no clue about road rules are concerned.

well they are required by law to "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING" anywhere over 60km/hr. Lol. Funny how soon people forget that law.

 

Its 80 in QLD but yea... I followed a learner this morning doing no more than 60km/h on the Warrego. So dangerous, even in the left lane.

Exactly. And when its on a two lane, two way road? Forcing people to dangerously overtake is worse.

Just spoke to my olds. (They use to be professional driving instructors) In Qld learners don't have a limit that can't go over. When the limit is 100 they should be doing 100. If the limit is 110, they should be doing 110. I thought that this was the case.

[love ke70]

in QLD yes, but what about NSW drivers in QLD?

why are they allowed on faster roads if they can't match the speed, when u can be booked for driving too slowly?

[JiP]

I don't see why not. The state gov is trying to find as many ways to squeeze cash out of us. Might as well fine the Mexicans.

WGMG: saving money in one area (seatbelt) and thinking of all the cool stuff I could do to the rolla, AND THEN FINDING THIS:

 

Spotted this the other day and was like WTF! then conveniently forgot to tell her (crap short term memory) forgot to tell her and then remembered and then she was like WTF!

 

WGMG: Leaving cold cans of drink in the fridge at work (on a hot day) i then go on lunch and come back to find an empty box where they all were! To add to it i left 5 in there! theres 4 people in the workshop! I asked round and no one would own up. :end rant:

 

Karl.

[JiP]

[Karllos]

When I was only on my L's my parents and I went on a little trip to Victoria. At the time, Learners in South Australia could only do 80km/h. But over in Victoria, the limit was 100. It was great experience being able to drive 100km/h while everyone else I knew had only done 80. But now the SA laws have allowed Learners to do 100. Which is a great upgrade I reckon. I recommend to everyone while they are on their L's to go on a fairly long country drive with their parents as it's such a good learning experience. But I guess some Learner drivers would be more confident then others. I was quite a confident driver so I was fine.

errr driving with my parents :D My dads been retired for years now and I've had my license for 8 or so years and he still check s my speed and bitches about my driving. I rather not drive with him in my car.

[TommyGun]

I know when i was on my NSW L's and i drove into QLD i'd always just do whatever the posted speed limit was, not sure if it was allowed or not but i did it and my mum didn't care, she encouraged me.
