<< Stop whinging about something that's utterly inconsequential. You're living a VERY closeted, cushy life if that's all you can whinge about. >>

Haaaaa hahahaaa PJack.

Why don’t you check out my user index to see what else I can whinge about!!

I think you’ll find that I’m a highly diversified whinger! ( :>)

And by crikey, if you think having a forking great semi-trailer truck right up your arse while you are sticking to the speed limit is inconsequential, then you need to get out of your little closet, start travelling around a bit, and experiencing this sort of thing for yourself.

<< It's about time the truckies went back to heavy steel bull bars, rather than the pretty polished alloy things they now sport.

Then they could take out these long abandoned roadwork signs, as they pass, as they always used to. >>

Hey….. great idea Hazza!

Gee you do come up with pearlers!!

What we need is for some enterprising person to start manufacturing clip-on speed signs that can be firmly placed over stupid speed signs and display the CORRECT speed limit!

Gee, you're not just a single issue whinger, but a diversified whinger; and a scared wimp on the road as well. Please don't join the army whatever ya do, ya wouldn't last a day.

<< Then there are the "STOP" signs at railway crossings where there has not been a train for 30+ years and the tracks are buried under the road; should one obey them? >>

Is Mise, I photographed one of these just a few days ago in Byron Bay. The railway hasn’t been used in years. There are large bushes growing in the middle of the track!

I photographed just the same thing in Bunbury recently.

I’ve built up a collection which I call Russell’s really rank road signs, from all around the country. (Yes, that’s my real name!). It has developed into a large set. Stupid speed limit signs prevail, but there are all manner of other things pertaining to the law and road-safety, which are just, well....unbelievably stuuuupid!

I’ve come to hold departments of transport and main roads, and local authorities that are in charge of local roads and signage, in very low regard. And as for the police….

A typical solution from butch, ignore the signs. By doing that sort of thing you are driving 'revenue raising'.
Why not ask why the signs are there for, and let us know the answer.
I think even in QLD they do have a Roads Authority.

The signs are revenue raising facilities because whilst a driver gets absorbed into looking for speed limit signs he is not concentrating on driving & that's what the Cops are pouncing on. Meanwhile proper Police are doing their jobs chasing nasty morons.
As to
"What is going on with our police and politicians?" well, the politicians are busy pleasing stupid media & Police are busy playing diplomat with crooks.
