    Driver faces thousands in fines over another simple road rule

    The roads are so bad in SA that you either drive in the overtaking lane (move left if someone is coming up behind) or hit massive pot holes and broken edges. Our highway 1 is like a patchwork quilt. A Gravel road would be smoother! One section had new overtaking lanes built, 2 weeks later...

    Good article but needs to come out in winter again. I did have a very itchy patch on my shoulder blade which could quite well be from using a heat bag so often. No longer an issue so it obviously was only temporary.

    Watch: How this Queensland motorcyclist’s disgusting act towards a woman driver could affect you

    Spitting it’s disgusting, but there must be some degree of truth to his side of the story too. It’s not that unusual to see people on their phones swerving all over the road. The car in front of me was on the shoulder heading for a tree only last week, then suddenly veered back on to the road.

    Are you guilty of this common driving mistake? This harmless gesture could cost you $349!

    Okay, so everyone on here knows about this Rule. Yet only days ago it was highly suggested anyone over 50 take driving lessons to learn the road rules!

    Call a snake catcher? We tried that with the nearest catcher and were told it will take an hour and a half to get there. Snake will be long gone by then but I’ll still charge my $120 call out fee.

    Are your driving skills outdated? Experts believe so and here's why

    What a load of garbage. Where’s the statistics for drivers caught driving whilst high on drugs or alcohol. That’s not legal yet they still do it. What about the ones doing well in excess of the speed limit? I’m pretty sure you’ll find all of the above are not over 50! Nor are the ones who...
