They would be cool at the snow too! See em using one in the slope style!?

I was thinking this dude. I was just wondering if they would have rules across the resort about using them or not...... would be cool if they are all cool.

Yeah amslo. I didn't want to "filter" for the first time in a 20km traffic jam that ended at a truck accident

Also it's illegal and I didn't want to get booked for it.

Looks like Bargo could do with some rain, looking rather brown.

[Brett]

Yeah turned out alright. The first pic is an awesome sales photo

For your work, id say the second is a better one. The first one does a great job of showing off the ute, but you had nothing to do with that.

<googles some shit>

So it is. Looks like they had a trial for a few weeks last year in a very small part of the CBD.

Fark. It'd suck sitting in traffic.

[Hypnotic]

Yeah, Amsy, I think WA is the only place it's legal. I think I remember you telling me it was.

[Adam]

Yeah that was a hot long 1hr sitting in spitting rain!!!


Hey Brett, I agree, but yeah I was talking about the ute as a whole!

[Hypnotic]

Hahaha that sheep vid is a crack up.

[ams]

Yeah, Amsy, I think WA is the only place it's legal. I think I remember you telling me it was.

I was sure it was legal elsewhere....

Haha just found a road rule ammendment from 2005, what a load of shit the last part is.

Spoilered because not motorbike thread.

4.34 Riding a motor bike alongside a vehicle – New rule 151A
It is a common practice for motor bike riders to “split lanes”, that is, overtake or pass
another motor vehicle (except a motor bike) in the same lane as the other motor vehicle.
Although rules 140 to 145 specifically deal with the many attributes of overtaking, none
make the rider of a motor bike move into an adjacent lane to overtake another motor
vehicle. This has resulted in a cult belief that splitting lanes (an inherently dangerous
practice) is recognised as acceptable behaviour of motor bike riders.
It is intended to impose the same behaviour on motor bike riders as is already the case with
other motor vehicles during the process of overtaking, that is, move into an adjacent lane
or line of traffic and pass at a safe distance. If it is safe, a motorbike may pass another
motorbike in the same lane.
The proposed amendment is structured to bring about this behaviour change.
Impact: The proposed amendment is expected to impact on the current behaviour of motor
bike riders, in that they will not be able to overtake by splitting lanes, but will have to
move into an adjacent lane to overtake. Although delay times for motor bike riders are
expected to be minimal, some opposition can be expected from the motor bike fraternity,
as it involves a change of behaviour. Nevertheless, the proposed amendment is expected to
gain the support of the general motoring community and remove the crash risk to motor
bike riders engaging in the practice.
Costs: The costs imposed by this amendment are those that accompany the making of
amendments, education of motor bike riders and advice to enforcement agencies. It is
expected that the latter cost will be absorbed in existing processes that provide
contemporaneous legislative review. Additional costs may also be seen in minimal time
delays and prosecution costs for riders breaching the new rule. However, it is not possible
to quantify a monetary value, as it is not possible to estimate how many motor bike riders
currently split lanes, and how many will continue to do so after the introduction of the new
rule.
Benefit: The benefits are to achieve a cohesive set of rules that reflect community needs
and expectations, which will assist in reducing road trauma. Furthermore, a general
reduction in crash risk is expected which will benefit not only the rider, but also his/her
family and drivers directly involved when passed, at a very close distance, by a motor bike.
