It's funny. I was standing at a shell servo here in Cairns and there was this American family(the dad was paying for petrol). So it was December 31st 2012 and it was approximately 1pm. The attendant served the gentleman asking where he was from etc etc. He had stated that he was heading south to Sydney to see the NYE fireworks. Now, at the time for some reason i thought i had been in Brisbane(idiot) and i looked at my watch and thought to myself "yeah he might make it if they don't take the scenic route". I feel like such an bastard because i wasn't in the right frame of mind to inform him that it takes a little longer that 10 hours to get from Cairns to Sydney by road. About 20 hours longer if you follow the speed signs and road works etc etc.... Unless he had a hire car and he was refueling to return to the airport. Touches nose** |

A lot comes down to perception and what they perceive or how they interpret. There is so much variance in qld legislation for a lot of stuff. |

Do we get a prize for winning this thread? Because I'm coming second... Just saying. Imagine if the Police actually used their powers to say SLOW people down on that piece of road & get the council to PAINT the bloody lines & WIDEN it as well. Now that would be proactive & constructive to saving a life, Impossibru |
