Extremely Important Safety Information for All Drivers!!!

 

 

BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN CANBERRA

 

1. Indicators will give away your next move. A real Canberra driver

never uses them.

 

2. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you

and the car in front of you, or somebody else will fill in that space,

putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

 

3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have of

getting hit.

 

4. Braking is to be done as hard and as late as possible to ensure that

your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake

pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch

your legs.

 

5. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and

apparently not enforceable in the metro area during rush hour.

 

6. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even

someone changing a tyre.

 

7. Everybody thinks their vehicle is better than yours, especially 4WD

drivers.

 

8. Learn to swerve abruptly. Canberra is the home of High-Speed Slalom

Driving thanks to the Urban services, which puts potholes in key

locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes, not

forgetting the 'Test your skill' chicanes in suburbs.

 

9. It is traditional in Canberra to honk your horn at cars that don't

move the instant the light changes.

 

10. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left

before proceeding.

 

11. Remember that the goal of every Canberra driver is to get there

first, by whatever means necessary.

 

12. Heavy fog and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously

listed rules. It is an acceptable practice to increase your speed in comparison to the rate of rain fall, i.e.: the harder it rains, the faster you go.

 

13. There is a commonly held belief in Canberra that high-speed

tailgating in heavy traffic reduces petrol consumption as you get sucked

along in the slipstream of the car in front.

 

14. It's OK to cut off fully loaded semi-trailers, road trains and buses

because, hell - they have brakes.

 

15. While using Canberra roundabouts, particularly two lane roundabouts,

ENSURE that you are in the left lane to turn right, or the right to turn

left, hell lets keep those people in those other lanes on their toes.

 

16. If you are an Action bus driver, you must win at all costs, getting

to your destination prior to any other driver is life and death. Never

worry about your passengers bouncing round in the back like tennis

balls, hell it's a cheap form of theme park, in fact Canberra's very

own.

 

17. Canberra Cabs, see rule 16, except you are now qualifying for the

GMC 400.

 

18. Pedestrian crossings... What are they?

 

19. Public servants have no road rules.

 

20. If you are a cyclist, remember YOU ARE INVINCIBLE, you are stronger

than ANY vehicle travelling at speed, MAKE SURE you take the whole lane

for yourself, and at night NEVER use lights, remember They Will See You!

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this public service announcement

SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So very true.....

21. It is customary to remain in the left lane on the parkway when people are 'clearly' coming down an off ramp to merge.

[Rolla Newbie]

AND to stay in the RH lane no matter the LH lane is clear and you are 20k below the speed limit!!!!!! Or was I 20 over.

Roundabouts: a straight bit of road with a speed bump........ many can almost be straight lined.

Every Corolla owner needs a "LRN2ROADCRAFT" sticker on the back of their cars. Must make a point to the other monkeys on the road.

Hey is anyone making down to the South coast nationals? I would have but got way too much on.
