Re: Different road rules
My wife just got a Disabled sticker for the car, she no longer has a license but as she in that category can put it on my car wndscreen, very handy as the parking in Cooma near the shops is bad.

Re: Different road rules
Rodders, those Road Trains in the Northern Territory can be long, very bloody long.
Biggest we saw was four trailers and a fuel tank.
That is well over 100 meters in length.
Going at around 85 klm will take about 2 klm to stop, so get out of the bloody way when you see one.


Happy daze John in Oz.
