Come over to the West Donkey got one mounted in the car Doesn't mean you can use warp speed down the Tonkin HWY but it's nice to know where they are hiding the little F#@*ers. :Reverend:

i dont want to insult people but in europe everyone sticks to the inside lane when not overtaking so it leaves space for people.i was shocked when i first saw someone here overtake on the inside it blocks up the roads and is more dangerous.Im not saying everyone does it but lots do its insane if everyone just stuck to that rule the roads would 10x better.One good thing is that people stick to the speed limit all the time which is good.

YES Steve D, and IF Italy and France confiscate radar detectors, WHO CARES? What considering their respective 130km/h AND 150km/h speed limits, the latter applying on some 3-lane autostradas.
This is how one 'keeps left', its the same diagram we'll have in the NSW driver manual in time, we carry the same text now. http://www.td.gov.hk/road_safety/roa...ays_/index.htm
