Unlike the great ocean road however the Yarra Ranges don't attract hordes of beach goers so they'll notice the loss of day travellers more. Good outcome from the gumbiment there... G-S

I was there last week and only saw one group of motorcycles (4) and another group of 4WD's (4). The first 4WD was comming towards me in the middle of the road sideways while I was on a RH bend and there was no white lines about to save me. I felt it comming all morning so all was good no thanks to the superhuman skill P plater felt he could muster. Afterwards I rode through the deepest river for me yet, had to get off and pass the DR under a fallen tree and also surpassed the limits of the GPS. The white lines don't bother me much but I don't feel I am a "weekend warrior". Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying the DR650? :-P

When the road toll rises fines and enforcement practices also increase. This has little effect on the road toll but sets the precidence for a further increase when the toll next rises, usually in the subsequent year or period eg. public holliday period. Increases should be measured such that the public remain confident in the safety hoax reasoning. Any measures that are proven to decrease the road toll shiould be discredited as soon as possiable as this may lead to a decrease in revenue collected. If your house is broken into or you have a minor collision in a car park try getting Police to investigate or even attend the scene. However do 5 Kms over the posted limit and they're waiting, hidding in the bus shelter, sitting for hours on end in parked unmarked cars, operating expensive camera vans while being paid overtime rates. Our state Poilce forces have become uniformed tax collectors with little time or resorces for traditional Policing There, I feel a little better now. Capt. A. L. |
