« on: August 03, 2008, 04:46:07 AM »
when will Oz catch up with the rest of the world.....

From the August edition of Two Wheels

...."In Milan recently, members of the Technical Committee on Road Equipment adopted resolution 319 registering a new item in their work program to "develop a European Standard, which reduces the impatct severity of motorcyclist collisions with safety barriers...."

and

".......the Dutch government has decided to implement a nationwide road pricing system in order to reduce traffic on every road, not just on motorways, during rush hours.....The Minister of Transport, Camiel Eurlings, recently confirmed that motorcycles will not be included in this road pricing scheme as motorcycles need to be CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE SOLUTION TO BEAT CONGESTION

In about 10 to 15 years, just like everything thing else they implement, or repeal.  :banghead: Shall I waste everyones time with details. :yikes:
Lights on law, the implementation and then the repeal. Wire rope barriers. :rant2:
Arhhh screw it I just couldn't be bothered anymore. :duh:
Foot loose and fancy free.
