Rediculous Australian Laws

[betts]

Men are allowed to drain the main vein on a car tyre or a tree in public aslong as noone can see

im pretty sure you are only legally allowed to urinate on the rear left hand tyre of a vehicle, so that if you are parked on the side of a road nobody driving along that road can see

[hingo1983]

USA: You may not drive barefooted.

Is that illegal here? cause in summer if im wearing sandles/thongs I will take them off while driving as my feet get sweaty and lose all grip....

I always though it was illegal to drive barefoot for safety reasons. That being said, I still drive barefoot a lot in summer because IMO its a lot safer than wearing thongs that could slip off. I figure if I get pulled over by the coppers and they notice, then its bloody bad luck.

keep the thongs on the floor under the seat, slip them on if they come.

Driving in thongs/sandles is illegal. Barefoot is not.

That's from a NSW Police Constable.

It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday.

Does this upset you?

My dad is a sparky and has the contract to several government office, he gets called out all the time to change lightbulbs. Reason being it is against oh&s rules for these govt employees to change a lightbulb. He charges through the roof for it too lol, theres the minimum call out fee, charges by the hour, travel and if it is after hours it won't cost any less than $300 lol

IF this is the case, little wonder why NSW is broke. Things will change.

that one is pathetic, expecially in the city, while they STILL HAVE "Walking/Bike" lanes....And have now banned all garbage trucks from Swanson walk in peak hours, because that girl got hit by a BUS

What about laws in in some states that are AWESOME but the same thing is illegal in others.

Eg: Motorbike Parking in VIC. What a great idea! Motorbikes can park on any footpath as long as it doesn't completely block pedestrians.

Why isn't that the same EVERYWHERE?

because motor bike riders are idiots who just plonk it anywhere they like and don't realise they are blocking something...

But yeah over all it is a good idea, but its a bit unfair as they dont pay for parking and dont pay tolls

[CSP]

Vic is the only place they don't pay tolls.

It's funny in Sydney though. 4 of us went home via the M5. No e-tags so we had to stop and pay. One at a time, we stop, turn off the bike, get off the bike, take our gloves off, get money out, and pay. Gloves back on, back on bike, start, ride off.
