I didn't know that, Ludwig.

>>Yes Is Mise, [motorists should tip off other drivers] even though it is illegal to do so<<

What would the charge be?

In Queensland the charge would be use of high beam within 200 metres of an approaching vehicle. [fine, 20 penalty units]

see 21B

It would be the same elsewhere in Oz.

Defend if you have the time, a lawyer and deep pockets.

Penalty units,

579,

"You are not supposed to be in the right hand lane for no reason.
It is illegal to pass another vehicle on the left hand side, unless they are in a lane that is assigned for that lane."

If the right hand lane is empty and there is no one about to overtake me, then I drive in the right hand passing lane if I'm in the country, because that puts a full lane width between me and any 'roos, wallabys, deer or cattle that happen to be lurking by the roadside just waiting for a chance to rush out in front of a motor vehicle.

From the Catalyst programme on ABC,

"TRANSCRIPT
Narration: Every night there are thousands of horrific accidents on our roads, a huge number of hit and run fatalities. The victims are our native animals. All too often, they end up as roadkill. One estimate has the annual road kill toll at nearly quarter of a million deaths in NSW alone. Dr Daniel Ramp wants to stop the carnage. He’s bringing science to the rescue of our native animals. He’s turned road kill into research. And Dan is up against a major problem: our wildlife has a fatal attraction.

Dr Daniel Ramp: Kangaroos and other species are actually attracted to the sides of roads where they can get water from rain or moisture. So it's not just a question of these animals crossing the road to get from A to B, but actually they are drawn to roads."[and fresh grass from verge mowing]

So I M the other way of looking at it is that that's 250,000 less Roos to destroy farmers crops. Even more if you consider most of those killed on our roads are of breeding age and therefore no longer breed.

It's a catch 22, we provide food and water on tap, and they breed like flys.

<< Ludwig you must get it into your head that the speed limit means the speed limit >>

NO IT DOESN’T, 579!

There IS a leeway! You won’t get busted for doing 101 in a 100kmh zone!

You ARE a hazard if you strictly obey the speed limit, and especially so in roadworks zones …. and at the change of speed zones.

Crikey 579, how much driving do you do?

I’ve been out there on the open road and through urban areas all over the country over the last few years.

I started to use up my extensive long-service leave in about 2005 with road trips all over the country. Then I took a redundancy package in late 2011 and I’ve been on the road much more than I’ve been at home since then.

I live in Townsville, but I’m currently near Queanbeyan, sleeping in my car tonight as I do most nights.

I experience the stuff that I write about every day and have done so for a long time now.

So… in the real world, the speed limit does NOT mean the speed limit! What the signs say, what is policed and what is general practice, are quite different things.
