More Victorian Lunacy

[Black Orchid]

A social media storm has erupted after news the speed limit on a popular stretch of Victoria’s Great Ocean Road has been reduced from 80km/h to just 20km/h.

The go-slow near the popular tourist spot, the Twelve Apostles, will be temporarily enforced all February, due to an influx of tourists during Chinese New Year.

Newly-erected warning signs in Mandarin also remind foreign motorists not to drive on the wrong side of the road.

VicRoads and Parks Victoria installed more than 100 multilingual signs including “drive on left” messages along the Great Ocean Road over the summer to remind foreign motorists to drive on the correct side of the road.

Chinese are the WORST drivers

[Valkie]

Don't know about the worst, but they do drive differently.

You see, in China they don't aim at other drivers that do wrong, like we do.
They are generally more patient, although they do tend to be less attentive.
But this is because someone else will give them way.

I've seen a car driven on the wrong side of the road and everyone just went around it.

The other problem is that old farmers, when they sell their farms, have plenty of cash
So they buy a car, without ever learning to drive.

It's a strange country
Beautiful in some way, brutal in others.
But we'll worth an extended visit.
