    Thumbs down Shocking Roads

    hi all time for my daily rant about crap!
    anyway last weekend i drove along i'd have to say the most shocking road in S/E QLD, the Gateway. i was traveling from northside (redcliffe) down to nudgee river and i tell you what it felt like i was in a washing machine on wheels (not to that extent but you get my drift).
    i swear this road needs to be re structed it's hopeless and the speed limit along there is 100km/h and for the first time in my life i actually think it needs to be lowered probably down to 80 in some areas.

    anyway anyone else have to put up with crappy roads?

    The Bruce Hway heading off the Gateway artirial rd is bad, in the wet its like drivin on oil n the road has a peak in the middle of the 2 lanes so wen u change lanes it feels like u get sucked in n out of the lane....

    So many times on me way up to nambour ive droped me speed to 70-80 in 100 zone just to fell safe...Also wen it rains there are soo many bodgy road work...

    All the roads around my area are stuffed so I'm used to it (it's a very rough ride with just FE2) but I'm allways amazed at how smooth and nice the roads are when you get closer to Melbourne, even the texture on the them is smooth and you hardly use any fuel at all
