Hi , All , On Wednesday this week , about midday , there was quite a bit of traffic angst on the highway through
Coffs Harbour , just on the south side of town , when a car towing a caravan stopped in the left hand lane , for about 15 minutes , with only the left blinkers on, this was noticed by
shop owner , who thought that the van may have had a break down , so he phoned highway patrol , who advised him to go to the car and tell the driver to at least put on his hazards , until the police came , when to his amazement , from across the road where the
information centre is , a lady came walking with brochures in her hands, and proceeded to get into the car , after which , the driver proceeded on his way . I wonder if he was in the least concerned about the downright dangerous situation that he had caused to the drivers , who had to suddenly merge into 1 lane , for all the time that he sat there ? .

Hi
John, here's one to take first prize.
I'm in
Perth at present and last Wednesday I was being driven from the city to the airport about 3.30 pm.
We were heading up the motorway, three lanes each side and the traffic slowed and stopped before moving again slowly.
Would you believe WA Police had set up their huge RBT bus in the middle of the road and were breath testing people selected from the right and left lanes as they came through. Although they had plenty of warning signs etc, it seems quite an idiotic thing to do.
Absolutely unbelievable !
Stay safe out there
Regards
TJ
