    Only one car getting through is definitely constant stop - go - stop within a few seconds. Plenty of extra fuel used too. Vehicles need air flow around them, hardly getting enough if they constantly in a queue - overheated motos stop - could be in the middle of a busy road. Definitely a long...

    New mobile phone laws could hit you with fines of up to $1,200—are you ready for the penalties?

    I agree with your comment about mobile phones. Have you seen how thick the road traffic act is? We aren't told when new laws are added or others changed. The majority of Police don't know all of the Road Traffic Act. Get incorrectly booked 3 times and nothing listed in Road Traffic Act - loss of...

    This booming side hustle is helping Aussies turn clutter into cash—some are making over $60,000!

    A lot of items would not have been thought of as collectables when they were bought or hoarded. e.g. Matchbox Toys / vehicles. They were very popular toys back in the 1950s.
