Wow. I can't begin to imagine the number of bruises that went in to
practice.

On another note, you recently wanted to know where it was legal to run
over pedestrians and found that they were fair game at slip roads. The
WA Road Safety Council has been publishing adds in the paper under the
heading of "Street Smarts". Last weeks said

*****************************
Giving way to Pedestrians.
Drivers and riders must give way to pedestrians (including people in
wheelchairs) who are:

Crossing at an intersection in front of a turning vehicle:

Crossing at a pedestrian (Zebra) or children's crossing:

Crossing at a marked foot crossing (traffic signal controlled crossing
for vehicles and pedestrians lights for pedestrians) when a light
facing vehicles is flashing yellow or red: or

Crossing in front of your vehicle at a slip lane (i.e. a left turn
lane at an intersection where there is an island between that lane and
lanes for other traffic).
****************************

So no, you can't run over pedestrians in a slip lane, regardless of
whether the slip lane has a marked crossing or not. You are a turning
vehicle and turning vehicles must give way to pedestrians.

That'll piss him off.

Bugger,
