This also goes for how you avoid collisions.The operative word being 'defensive' driving. If you drive around expecting people to drive the same as you then you live in Utopia or are happy with an overgoverned country such as we have. Ah, good old Common Sense, it's a rarity these days.................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non ADR compliant emissions (or even Compliant but not engineered emissions) or 'excessive speed' on a public road, overtaking on double lines and the like?

It is that thinking that I have seen or come across talking to people that just makes me shake my head. On point two, I personally have exceeded the speed limit, and am still living to tell the tale. I have done in excess of the posted speed limit on a National Highway / Freeway where the chance of an oncoming vehicle (on my side of the road) is extremely limited. However, I have also done UNDER the posted speed limit during periods of heavy rain, fog, and the northern Bushfires in NSW. If anyone thinks (and hopefully Plonky will agree) that sticking wholly to the posted speed limit will keep you safe, then think again.Could'nt agree more Cam, I believe it called 'Driving within your own limitations'.For some people to understand that means making your own decisions and using your own judgement to control a vehicle. Problem is these days there are that many drivers that they require someone to tell them what they can and connot do in a vehicle, because they do not have the capacity nor skill to use their own judgement on how they should drive.But then hey that's a different kettle of fish.............
