The Cop was a nice bloke, however I think the council are a bunch of morons with there stupid ideas.
At least you don't have the VicRoads bullshit of no-right-turn-across-a-solid-single-line. Those single lines go forever in places.

Road rules don't stop at midnight you know I'm still waiting to see the coppers from Maitland pull over a white Navara on the RBT or whatever its called
So what's the deal with the turbo you posted about on the UK site?
I don't race around the streets a lot - ask Scotty. He thinks I'm Hoke Colburn (played by Morgan Freeman - Driving Miss Daisy) - but I do like to travel at what the police would consider a respectable pace.
One thing that's been irking me lately is the speedster that races past me (I'm doing the speed limit, and more importantly I'm using my cruise control) and then slows down. Without touching the cruise control, I indicate, easily cruise past and pull back in ... only to be overtaken again and have the moron slow down on me again.
It's worse when the idiot moves out to block me - like we're in dodgem cars - or like one midget brain did, tore past at 20-30km/h above the speed limit, slammed on the anchors so they were doing 40km/m UNDER the speed limit and held me there (single lane) just because they could. When I got an opportunity to overtake (after quite some time), they took off.
Now if you're working in Williamtown Air Force Base and have been wondering who asked you for a load-out of AGM-65 Mavericks, now you know.
Road rules dont stop at midnight I know, but I think the cops should be a bit more lenient when its very very unlikey to cause a accident when there is no traffic.
Tony,
A neighbour I had in Perth had an excellent solution for this problem. He tells the story of a bright spark in a Saab passing him and slowing down three times deliberately while he was on his way to Esperance. His solution, and I quote "after the third time I did the only thing I could. I hit him, passed him and drove off. " Apparently the Saab didn't come back for another go. Problem solved. Your Nav has a bar doesn't it?
Regards
Scott
