No not me :togo:
Leader Newspaper, Slow Driving Fine Just a article in my local paper. -> WHEN Cronulla P-plater Richard Ossington, 18, decided to listen to his mum's advice to take it easy on the roads, he didn't expect to be pulled over by the police. The bottle shop attendant was fined $238 and stands to lose four points from his licence after he was pulled over for driving too slow in a right-hand lane. Mr Ossington was driving at 65kmh in a 90kmh speed zone on the Princes Highway at Loftus/Royal National Park, near Farnell Avenue, on Easter Saturday when officers from Sutherland Highway Patrol stopped his car and issued him with an infringement. Whats your opinion? For me, This is one of my pet hates, Right lane camper's! 65kms in a 90kms zone is silly if its in good weather conditions! I think its good the police are booking for it, I havent herd of it happen very much. I travel this stection of road alot and there really is no need to slow to that speed (unless its peakhour 20kms/hr haha). The right turn is a few hundred meters into the 70 zone after the 90kms anyway. There is lots of signs there saying "KEEP LEFT unless overtaking" as well! But its normal along this section of raod to be held up by people doing slow speeds(as with all high speed roads : ) Not really and good excuse for his slowness. Mum excuse dosnt count!
