"Sandgate" almost cost me a ticket because a Cop pulled up beside me and was going on about something.  I told him I couldn't hear him and proceeded to take the helmet off.  There were cars backing up behind him.  It turned out I was stopped too close to a round-about.   :crazy

..... stopped too close to a round-about.

Too close to a roundabout?   Mind you, it can be risky asking a Police officer, "and which regulation would that be?"  In VIC, that might end up costing more than just time.

You look like you're well off the road to me.

I'm actually in a bicycle lane, which is probably an offence.

I had a funny one south of Kempsey a couple of years ago when I was pulled over for one of the sins I was caught out committing. The Cop spent literally 15 minutes sitting in his car going through his book of infringements looking for the offence and associated penalty and finally let me off with the warning that if I did "it" again, he'd book me.  I wasn't sure it was even an offence, but another Copper told me since that it is in the book, but seldom seen.

No responses for five months!
Are there any newcomers interested in playing?
To revive the game, I propose that previous players (except me) may reuse any of their towns ONCE more. 

Williamson?  Bodø?

The current word is HINGES.

I'm liking those "display" town signs lately, like your "Euroa".

So what's the next bike-related word, Williamson?  Can you see the list of words already used?

And Pete- I'm hoping you're finding some great town names around Oz.
