The quote I just heard was

Some idiot on 7 news wrote:
... some drivers are still dicing with death in the Burnley Tunnel


Read: They're changing lanes.

Since when was changing lanes a life-threatening exercise!?!?!?

Yeah, I've seen that one before. The cynic in me reckons that's an ACA stunt...

You can have a car accident reversing out of your driveway as easily as you can minding your own business on a freeway. The point here is that for a while there in a knee-jerk reaction the Victorian State Government was thinking of making lane changes in the Burnley Tunnel illegal on the strength of one fatal smash.

Illegal? Changing lanes? Give me a break.

Now the toe-rag "journalists" on the commercial channels all preach the sanctioned government line that "changing lanes is dangerous, you're risking your life, bad citizen.. we must find a way to fine you".

/end rant

and the fact that it happened in a tunnel means what exactly? would have been the same outcome with or without the tunnel. perhaps we should just ban changing lanes all together as 90% of drivers cant do it properly regardless of where they are.

the rule is keep left unless overtaking so the car with the camera was breaking the law, the truck was changing lanes on the uphill was he trying to pass or move over as he slowed on the hill , did the benz indicate?, all in all another ACA bullshit beat up!

No, my missus asked the same question though. I told her my mini is Indigo blue, not green. No wonder she didn't notice I spent a grand putting the original wheels back on! I don't use the tunnel, its safe but too expensive.

The funny thing is that around the world in a lot tunnels it is against the law to change lanes.
And if the law says that you can't change lanes then why would you? It may be a silly law in some eyes but it is a very easy law to obey.
