(nigelr69 @ Apr. 19 2008,09:42) please don't tell them how much they need to start changing to become just like us.
It is no longer enjoyable to drive on the roads in Australia any more.The grey suited/grey brained public servants now have us driving at 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 & 110 kmh.It is 1000km from Melbourne to Sydney and the max is 110.
Every corner has a speed camera that fines you for going 2km over the limit, you are constantly changing from one speed to another as per the signage above.
Germany and "The Wild East"( although technically illegal) are the only fun places left.TO HELL WITH WESTERN ROAD RUconservative pollies who are trying to save ourselves fron ourselves....

what a draconian society we live here in Australia....

Ultra conservative pollies trying to save us from ourselves......

speed cameras hidden everwhere.....

(katoeylover @ Apr. 19 2008,17:06) (BangkokPost.com) - Road accidents took 360 lives during the "seven dangerous days" of the Songrang holidays, official figures showed on Friday.

Another 4,794 were injured in the 4,242 road accidents - 80 per cent of them involving motorcycles - counted by the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

I am happy to accept this number Stogie given my guess was 361
