571706 2007-07-23 08:57:00 I reckon a road crew has left a cone out in the fast lane :p

That's actually not too much of a joke. I went up North a while back.... doing 100kms in driving rain, straight stretch of road and thought, 'Hmmm, that looks like a Police car stopped up ahead'. Sure enough as my foot hit the brake I realised he was stopped right in the middle of the road... no flashing lights... not even any lights. I managed to slow enough to avoid him (yay for ABS) and was unimpressed to find that he was guarding a pot hole in the road :stare:

571712 2007-07-23 20:40:00 It's a big version of something called a road... but I'm guessing you haven't seen one of those down there either.

Jeez- next you'll be asking what a roundabout is!
