Good Learner Driver Training

By 6 February, 2013

Saw a classic example of good Canberra driver training this afternoon. Learner on Southern Cross Drive near Latham, the L plate looked like what you would see on a driving school car but no signs so assuming it was a professional teacher.
Anyway said learner overtakes me whilst I am doing 60km/h in a 60km/h zone. [...]

Traffic Monitoring Camera on William Hovell Drive

By 25 July, 2012

Notice this afternoon that a camera has appeared on William Hovell Drive near Coppings Crossing Road. It is a temporary thing on a long stick with a sign stating it is a traffic monitoring camera. Only caught it out the corner of my eye so not sure if it was looking back towards the city [...]

Roadworks, slow down!

By 27 June, 2012

Not sure what it is about the roadworks on Barry Drive that makes people think it is ok to speed through at what ever speed they like. Every word day afternoon I drive through there and hardly anyone slows down at either of the two areas the limit is reduced Belconnen bound. At least at [...]

Silly main road design

By 7 February, 2012

Who is it in ACT roads that comes up with new road designs? Drove through Molonglo the other day along Cotter Road to discover that the alignment has changed and it now heads through the middle of the two new suburbs of Wright and Coombs towards Uriarra road. To get to the Cotter and suburbs [...]

Previously in each direction there were 2 straight through lanes and one turn lane, with each straight and turn direction operating independently on the lights. Now heading towards the city (east bound) on [...]

Use of fog lights when there is no fog?

By 13 March, 2011

What is it with all these clowns with modern cars fitted with fog lights that choose to drive with them on even when there is no fog? Rule 217 of the national road rules, link below, clearly states “The driver of a vehicle fitted with front fog lights or rear fog lights must not operate [...]

Debt Collection. The rights of a 3rd party?

By 14 February, 2009

Every six months I get a call on my mobile from what I believe to be a debt collection agency looking for a phone number for a second cousin of mine. He used to live in my parents house, and oddly shares the same first, but thankfully different last name.
I believe they have my number [...]
