Foxy,

That's not the point, only that he slowed really drew my attention, his turn indicator light was almost lost in the red and blue flashes.

As the turn light shews his immediate intention then it should stand out, not be subdued by other lights.

Is Mise,

Is you hear a siren - don't you pull over?

What about push bike riders and road safety...here's a subject!
I think they would rate as the crowd with the highest death wish!

Foxy,

If I hear a siren behind me and I see the vehicle that is using the siren I pull over but as this ambulance was in front of me there was no reason to pull over.

Roundabouts.

"114 Giving way when entering or driving in a roundabout
(1) A driver entering a roundabout must give way to—
(a) any vehicle in the roundabout, and
(b) a tram that is entering or approaching the roundabout.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units."

As many roundabouts in NSW have shrubs, trees and other obstructions to observation on the centre island, how can one obey this law if one can't see a vehicle that has entered on the far side?

Then there is the mantra "SPEED KILLS" which Governments in all States chant, but don't believe; if they did they would put a stop to speeding.

Peculiar though, how, just before a local, state or Federal election the incumbent member seems to find a few spare $ and suddenly new curbing, guttering and pavement appears. 6 months later, utilities always manage to rip up the new pavement, various contractors leaving gaps, poorly adhering bitumen or out of whack paving blocks which self destruct with the first wet weather event. If Telstra, Water Authority, Gas or Power folks could coordinate their projects, perhaps the work done might last a bit longer...or am I denying the poor struggling worker a perpetual job opportunity?
