not to mention councils want to maximise revenue from realestate,
lowering speed limits = lower road noise = higher property values = higher council rates. increasing traffic flow through busy intersections is only going to increase noise. leech highway is now 70, no trucks etc. not for safety but to only reduce noise.

A well executed handbrake turn, followed by at 4wd drift and lots of tyre smoke is perfectly acceptable however.

on several ocasions I've seen cars nearly be cleaned up when they are doing a u-turn at this intersection. cars turning from Winthrop drive not expecting a car to do a u-turn, pull out from the give way sign, only to get 1/2 way across and slam on the brakes because of the car turning at the lights...thats why i think it is "dangerous". but in saying this, it is also the other road users responsibility to look out for cars doing things like this...same as not stopping at a stop sign etc.

Also on the turn on a red in the states, was my most favorite thing of all time. It scared the shit out of the missus when I first did it but she got over it. |

yep i also got done like that... had a rapidly deflating tyre and did a U'ey at the lights cause there was a BP about 250m from the lights, coppers saw me and pretty much made it out like i'd raped 50000 babies.. lights sirens launched over the median strip etc and stopped me about 40-50m from the BP...
I pointed out the flat tyre and the cunt took his sweet ass time and only let me go when it was fully deflated.. CUNT!

I was in the US a few years ago & at night the lights flash either orange or red (depending on direction) meaning flashing orange = go through with caution) flashing red = give way to other traffic. Works very well, but there is no well in hell WA could cope with something as complex as that. (Is this law widely used throughout the US American Dave, or only certain states?)

A few issues ago, RAC did a special on 'clarifying rules of roundabouts'.
They completed fubarred the rules in the article, I thought I had gone mad. The issue afterwards they corrected themselves and I felt sane again. I cant imagine how many tards have now learnt the wrong rules because of that fk up though.
