Well you can dream about those harsh penalties all you like, but like all extreme ideas it will never fly.

The questions below about Australia are from potential visitors. They were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humour. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK). A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) A: Depends how much you've been drinking. Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks (Sweden)? A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water. Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK) A: What did your last slave die of? Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA) A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked. Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA) A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK) A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is ... oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked. Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK) A: You are a British politician, right? Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany) A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal. Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA) A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets. Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA) A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA) A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather. Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy) A: Yes, gay night clubs. Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France) A: Only at Christmas. Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA) A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour. Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA) A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.

Whoa... looks like all hell broke loose (just what TOCAU needed :P), sorry I missed the party, but had to monitor some mice inoculated with a lethal dose of modified Ebola Yes I did have the impression that you are a "perfect driver and never speeds" from your "4 years without a offense" comment. And now you tell us that in fact you were just never caught, so that makes you a lucky driver. And I hope your luck continues, cause one day you will have your picture taken when over taking someone sitting on 98 doing 106 (we all know thats not hard to do). Maybe then you will appreciate the leniency given to minor offenses as opposed to your ultra road safety idea of 6 months on buses. Its obvious that your model is totally inapplicable and unrealistic in the real world.. so why even bother Just like that politician awhile back with his "speed restrict all cars too 110" idea. Wonder how you and your motorsport clubs will react to that, having to keep a spare ECU around for the hillclimbs and trackdays

Thats bad news. Usually the preliminary exam timetable is the final one, unless theres like 50 people with exam clashes. Looks like you'll just have to fly on up after your exam or on the 8th ;)

it is stupid to think this way. imagine yourself ACCIDENTALLY speed with 6 over speed limit. bam, goes your license for 6 months.. If you are working and drive everyday? How are you going to office? If you are student, drive everyday? How are you going to uni? If you are the a mayor of this town? You walk to your office every morning? Please bring more reasonable thinking before talking. large speeding offense(i m thinking like 15km over speed limit)=5 years jail? Are you out of your mind? Imagine you yourself, and you have a family with 1 wife and 2 kids, who gonna .......... I gonna stop here. :lol: Exactly. I doubt anyone can be mister perfect every minute of their life. If people were to get suspended for 6 months for going 6 or 7ks over, everyone will be looking at their speedo more than the road; yup thats a lot safer, (I won't have that problem tho - HUD FTW :D ) If you guys enjoy heavy fines on everything, perhaps Singapore is the place for you guys.

Having Fun, While Taking A Driving Test 1. Turn the radio on. When the tester goes to turn it off slap his/her hand. 2. Rev the car really high, turn to the tester, and say with an evil look, "Buckle up!" 3. Knock over every cone while doing maneuverability. In the middle of it, get out and check to see if you have hit every one. 4. Come dressed in a suit. Before the examiner gets in the car, ask him/her to put a piece of plastic wrap down so he doesn't dirty the seat. 5. When the examiner tells you to stop, step on the gas. Tell him/her that you thought it was the brake. 6. When the examiner tells you to stop, pop the hood clutch and say "Oops." 7. Get in the car, look down at the pedals, and say, "Now which one is the gas again?" 8. After the examiner gets in the car, pop the hood, and get out and check the oil. 9. Fill your car with beer bottles. 10. The whole time driving, talk about how Aunt Gertrude smells like mothballs. 11. Tell the register that you are taking the remedial test. 12. In the middle of driving, put your arm around the examiner. 13. Swear at everybody on the road. 14. When you stop at a light, start revving the engine while looking back and forth between the person next to you and the light. 15. Beep your horn at everything. 16. Break off your rear-view mirror and then ask the examiner to hold it up.

Looks like the real Honda will be the back markers now :P But its sad to see SA go :(

Half the reason why I went down to Syd last yr was for the drive as well. Good times.

L M A O :lol: :lol:

I'm actually really impressed with the Mel crew finding the time and effort to make their way up. If more people from Mel show up than Syd, NSW will be known as New SOFT Wales on TOCAU :P

:P Long straights in an auto and no lift is not that exciting . Plus i was on cop patrol out front I was looking out for animals and little children to run over when going through that township area Na we'll go again next week :P And a question to SoftyDave: why did u not come with us down the uber hairpins down samford????

A chat room will be good for the ppl that like to spam a bit on here :P I think a Shoutbox will be fun to have as well.

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish. 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world. Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life. Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch. Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
