Guess who contributes a large "donation" to Monash University every year

I'm all for 1000 cars rocking up to Parliament house.

I find it interesting to go through their "research". The deceleration for braking they use is like putting your foot on the ground instead of hitting the brakes.

Mate - cops n pollies don't give a shit if u and 1000 others rock up in a modded car. Every second fuker on the road has a modded car these days. Just cos you've got a 'modded' car, doesnt mean you're any more important or influential than the next Joe Bloggs.

Yes the traffic is much heavier, but the system to control the traffic is so much better.

Signage is better, drivers are better, toll ways are good, the variable speed limit zones with the digital signage .. It seems the entire traffic system is much more electronically controlled.

Hell, when i ordered a taxi over the Internet from Syd, I got a SMS when it was approaching my location! I guess all the taxi's there have GPS fitted, which somehow integrates into the logistics system .. Fuckin shweet.

Rant on:
I agree they should improve the roads and driver training, then every fukr wouldn't be in a rush because they got stuck in a traffic jam with 2000 fukrs that don't know how to merge! Although driving in general is difficult for most Perth people MERGING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM!
Rant off.

so how come if 100 semi-trailers pull up out the front of parliment house it makes the 6:00 news? What makes them so special?

What else happens in Perth? They need to fill the 20mins somehow.
If a heap of modded cars rocked up to complain about the increase in fines or speed cameras they would just say,
Here lies the problem these guys want to speed, they are all hoons. This must be working.

good point Jaron, so everyone go in their Bunky's it would be ok?

If you make it clear that the point is not to condone speeding but to help them switch the focus to the other major causes of road death's in WA, and stop revenue raising.

Spot on. It probably would make the news...but that doesn't mean that they'll give a shit n take u seriously. If i saw 1000 modded cars on the steps of Parliament House, even i'd just laugh.

Theres a huge difference in the perception by the community of truckies and modified car owners.

ACA will have a pull fest over it if 1000's of modded cars rolled up there!
Headline news " HOON PROTEST" wank wank!

No doubt some fulleh sik uleh would cook a set of tyres out the front and see our hoon laws suddenly harden up some more..
