I too have dissed Victorian roads in the last eighteen months.  There's been many motorcycle deaths on South Australian roads this year,  not necessarily down to the roads but it wouldn't surprise me if the state government considered a motorcycle levy.

I've done the survey, as there is provision to note that I am not a Victorian resident.    It's was an interesting process, as I looked at what hazards and features I considered to be most/least important.

I got as far as the select five things that make safer riding on country roads or something like that.  The fifth one covered the "next" button and I couldn't move on, return it or do anything.  I couldn't go back so clicked back on the browser only to be taken to the very beginning again...

Too hard basket.

Had the same problem, couldn’t do it on my laptop. Managed to do it at work on the desktop with a bigger screen & more space.

Have forwarded the link to few vicriders & SA riders who travel that way

Surprisingly no mention of cheese slicers (wire barriers) & lane filtering 😳

Done and focussed on two things. The abyssal state of country roads and car drivers and their distraction with the mobile phone. I remember being told in the late 80's that Dupont in America had a company policy that when you got into a car you turned your phone off. The rationale apparently was, when you got into the vehicle you were there to drive - full stop.

IMHO, if a car driver is caught using his / her phone whilst driving, the police officer should remove the sim card and take it to the station where it is held for a fortnight. The phone can still make emergency calls but the turd putting our lives at risk is greatly inconvenienced (but not quite as much as us had we been run into by an inattentive car driver on the phone).

thanks for the link...had the same issue with images covering next button on my first attempt but it worked fine on my next try.  Have forwarded to a few other rider and non rider friends.

I've also completed the survey.  My ride through Victoria on the way to Nat Rally was quite an eye opener.  I did notice that rather than spend money on fixing roads, they invest in signs letting you know the roads are crap.... :cuss :cuss :cuss

That is pretty much what I said eighteen months ago.
