BUT if you have to wear the yellow and red diamonds you are entitled to straddle lanes ?
More madness from our rulers to be ignored for the sake of sanity

Remember the silent cops that were at certain intersections ,why did they abolish them? maybe because there was more money to be made for councils from grants to put in roundabouts.Most intersections could benefit with the use of silent cops to stop clowns short cutting intersections .I've had a few close calls at an intersection near my home , just an idea anyway I've had my grumble for the day :evil:

How would a Silent Cop work with a diamond turn?

I thought Silent Cops were abolished because they became redundant after the diamond turn was introduced over 40 years ago?

Ok, can someone fill this West Oz in on what a Diamond turn is? Another one of those weird East coast customs?
