The speed limit doesn't say you have to travel that fast, it's the maximum you are allowed to travel at.

That's true.

How do you feel about cyclists riding 2 abreast at 20kph Peter?

Same thing.

Slightly different depending on road width. They have the right to do it but for a wide enough road they are being discourteous by doing it where they could easily ride single file to allow cars to safely pass... without interrupting their progress.

 

Where the road isn't wide enough (often around here) it's a pain but just part of driving.

Pushbikes aren't allowed on freeways.They are a rather dangerous thing to be on, on any trafficked road. Nev

The Australian Jillaroos defeated England 78–0 in their Women's Rugby League World Cup Pool A match at HBF Park in Perth on October 24, 2026.

 

Did the Lionesess take to the field? A team wouldn't cross the try line that often during training.

Wouldn't be such a problem if we just banned all those crazy motorcars.

Their Tolls pay for it.  They are great freedom machines and are fun to drive. They gave People Personal Mobility and they got to Know what the World 30 kms and more beyond their Home was like.. Protected you from the elements. Helped Bank robbers escape. Make Babies at the Drive-In. Nev

Not sure how you make babies on a bicycle. Good balance required!

The Australian kicker missed a lot of two point try conversions, otherwise the score would have been 90+. Watching the game, I couldn't help thinking that if the England team is their best of the best picked from clubs, they must be fairly ordinary at their club level. If their World Cup team was a club here in Australia, it would be at the bottom of the ladder in club rankings. They've got a long way to go. Our only real competition in the women's World Cup series is New Zealand; they beat France 92-0 today.
