Driving
you know its pretty hard driving around Canberra my daughter took me on the long route to my sons the other day and I couldnt help thinking...
about the people that design our roads....we have no excuses in Canberra it was designed from day one....the poor guy who will remain nameless who made the first designs will be spinning in his grave..this town has the worst road designs of anywhere I am sure...we must have cornered the market on the use of the words..
FORM ONE LANE..
every bloody road has one yep even the brand new ones they have come up with and when you use these roads you at some stage will risk your life or someone elses...they have also gone barmy on little black speed bumps that shake the hell out of you unless you get on them in the right spot as they are barely a small car width.. that aint always easy...so between them and roundabouts and roads with 100ks on them suddenly running out..thats where the FORM ONE LANE comes in.. plus on the road I use from time to time where again at 90ks we are crisscrossing with almost no time to look to see if a car is approaching because of a bridge...ho hum.. on a dark wet night if you shut your eyes it couldnt be more dangerous.. all designed though I am sure at great expense....
what has this to do with immigration????????..
well its the same mindset that is in charge..a dizzy dept of the public service that could not organise a toilet with two doors...
they design all of this crap... a pigeon could do better.. ....
in the case of the new citizenship forms .. do they really expect people to tell the truth...do they actually ask for proof they havent got a police record or so and so attends English classes..... I bet as long as the right box is ticked thats all that matters.. PASS....
truly if it wasnt so serious like our roads system.. we would fall about laughing....and another thing no one ever loses their job over incompetence.and believe me we have many incompetents in these depts...dont get me started...

I lived and drove around Sydney ....old people wouldn't be able to handle it ....
Once a person gets to the "elderly stage" they should be re-tested EVERY time they need to renew their licence. IMO*

Re: Dept of Immigration has let us down...
I did my first serious driving in Sydney. Now Parramatta road is a place to learn to drive that has served me well as I drive with the crazy people from all cultures here in Dubai. You cannot hesitate in Sydney or you're road kill.
Always remember what you post, send or do on the internet is not private and you are responsible.

Re: Dept of Immigration has let us down...
Exactly! What I had problems with was that I had already worked out which road I should take and how many side roads there were, but the Gregory Maps didn't indicate that some were One WAY Streets! ....Super Nova wrote:I did my first serious driving in Sydney.

Having driven in Sydney .... Canberra was a snap. Trouble is that Sydney and Melbourne have entirely different "give way" things .... or used to. Canberra road rules is a mix.
I actually loved long distance driving .... I used to drive down to Melbourne on Christmas morning .... nobody on the road but me ....

Re: Driving
Ah Ha ... last time I looked the "transfer of posts" must have been in "progression". I got the DRIVING thread and not much else. Thus my comment .......Black Orchid wrote:AND you're welcome
