Motorists urged to drive to conditions today as wet rolls in

…but we should totally trust them when they predict a 1°C average temperature rise over the next 50 years (even though they can’t accurately predict whether or not it will rain right this afternoon).

Exactly. We could do with at least 2 degree temperature rise now.

In fact, this has been the coolest summer I have experienced in Canberra since I came here 40 years ago. I haven’t turned the air conditioner on once this summer and in fact last night I turned a heater on. Many shrubs and flowers have failed to bloom.

The warmists have been silent. No bushfires either.

+1

…and even if they do indicate, they are usually indicating the opposite direction to their lane change (leaving the turn signal on from the last turn while they swing wildly out of control into the far lane – I could get an over-dimensioned coach around the corner using less lanes than most Canberra drivers seem to need in their cars)

Oh that is so true. I lived in Canberra for over 20 years and every single time it rained, ACT drivers would speed up and do all manner of dangerous driving. 4WDs think they are indestructible of course. Nothing changes, does it?

You forgot the part about stopping for a red light being purely optional.

Earthdog, hit nail on head. Some Canberrans have great delight in trying to see what you have on the rear parcel shelf of your motor vehicle. Tailgating particularly in those large dual cab Utes and SUV tanks is out of control. You are also correct because the wetter the weather the faster they drive.
