and i suppose in the event of the nightmare coming true for you or yours, you'll be wondering why your children or yourself are injured, crippled or dead because some spastic tard decided that he was peter brock reincarnate?

they enforce the law, you dont, and we know what happens to people when given power beyond thier capacity...... it goes to thier heads

2. Tougher laws on 'unlicensed' drivers. (6-12months min)
3. More places to legally engage in your hobby - For those that it is a hobby/interest and not a way to show to other motorists on the streets.
4. Simply more police presence on our roads, and not hiding behind a tree with a speed radar so we can't see them.

1: its needed, but so is an honest government
2: so what happens when police unfairly or corruptly penalise drivers?
3: not politically correct, and doesnt get enough votes
4: how the hell do you think the government would cope with the stupendous drop in revenue from that? being from victoria, you should know better than most what would happen if you took speed camera/trap revenue and casino revenue away from the state government......

for the most part i've found interstate drivers to be just as courteous as the victorian truckies you describe..... maybe your experience with interstaters is due to thier anxiousness to get out of victoria asap......

Take away there revenue from Casinos and Speed Cameras, my god the goverment would have to start thinking for a change, they'd actually have to start doing something useful to get money.

It all simply comes back to "We need a better governmet" - Not likily in the near future. I can't blame Interstate drivers for wanting to get out of Victoria quick enough with all our road rules etc.

Ah well... Back to Dreaming.
