HOW many bloody speed signs can you have in one 2km stretch?
About six if you’re running the Steve Irwin Way upgrade.
The most annoying thing about it though is when motorists reach the digital speed monitor that’s on a slight bend heading into Beerwah.
Yes, you’ve been speeding. We all have… all it does is flash red.
In fact I wonder how accurate it is.
But instead of a reasonable response – ie easing the foot off the pedal – motorists (and they’re always the ones directly in front of me), seem to feel the need to plant both feet on the brakes like they’re a foot away from hitting a stray child, or dog as they scream ‘brace, brace!’.
It’s okay folks, it’s not a speed camera, just apply commonsense not your two feet.
I love learning new things. For instance I didn’t know until last week there was a Labor Senator from WA called Fatima Payman.
As you would all now know, she played the race card and decided the party that won her a six-year term in parliament wasn’t good enough for her and has quit over something happening in the Middle East.
What’s happening globally is of concern, but what is happening in our backyards is what really matters.
Whichever your political colours (not thinking green though), you would like to think there is some loyalty card that should be in play.
The Prime Minister should have got in first and dumped her though. Letting Senator Payman resign was weak.
At such a critical juncture, domestically and internationally, it really riles me to think policies of the major party in power will be held up in negotiations with a ratbag bunch of independents and their singular ideology.
