May I suggest ‘Happy Thread’ 4bye4 mate, awesome news you are fit and well finally :-)
Very good points though and glad you’re built strong enough for that known head farout paperwork debacle trail needed to get there in the end brother!

So....apparently a new law has been passed here that we must give Lycra Lunatics 1.5m safe passing clearance in 80kmph + zones. So.....I can’t overtake on double white lines to the top of the hill either? 20mins drive in 1st gear is fair for us is it whilst they have their fun?????
What about the law of being 75kmph under the legally set limit?????

Cr@p.
Minimum passing distance legislation has not been passed in Vic.
It is advisory only.

In states where it has been passed, there is also an exemption to make it legal to cross unbroken lines in order to pass a cyclist.

In the situation in your photos I, like any other reasonable person, would cross the lines where safe to pass the riders. It's not rocket science and takes seconds only.

I'm not reasonable, why should I risk my life, my family's life and some other family's life just 2 please cyclist? If passing cyclists at unbroken double white lines is safe then it must also be safe to pass motor vehicles at the same double unbroken lines....... oh wait that's still illegal. So many double standards just.

Perhaps if you lack the judgement required to do so without placing anyone in danger you don't have the requisite skills to be in possession of a drivers licence.
You don't need to fully change lanes and it is a slow moving short and narrow vehicle you are passing. It takes seconds only, even in a gutless td42 like mine.
The world hasn't imploded in the states where it is legislation.
As I said it's not rocket science.

I understand both point of views but seriously on that road it's dangerous for all and like WA is banning them on a similar road so should we , no problem if it's a wider road but narrow and winding and not knowing what's coming round the next bend I would be reluctant to pass .
Ok maybe if only one and road clearer but when you have multiple bikes means a long time over double lines ,pull a big van and it's not much fun getting stuck behind the buggers.

Not sure if this should be here or in the depression thread by here goes.
Let’s imagine that you take your car to a mechanic because there is a strange noise coming from the engine. After charging you a nominal amount for discussing it with you for 10 mins, he advises that he thinks it’s the injectors and gives you the name of an injector specialist. You call the injector man and he says you can bring it in next month. You will have to pay in advance and you may have to get a few other tests done first. He gives you a list of tests he wants done and where to get them done. You get the testing completed and the test centre forwards the results to your original mechanic and the injector specialist and an appointment is made to get the injectors fixed. To repair the injectors, the specialist mechanic needs you to book into a workshop of his choice, which will be separately billed and also needs the assistance of a fuel line connection specialist who will also bill separately. Before the work can commence, both the injector specialist and the fuel line specialist must meet with you and advise the risks involved with this repair. Finally, there is no guarantee that the problem will be fixed or in fact not made worse. If either of these things happen it is just bad luck and not recoverable from the specialist mechanic. More paperwork is involved if the damage was wholly or partly done at work or if another party is paying for all or part of the work. This is not acceptable for a car repair, so why do we put up with it from a health system?
End of rant. Health issue has been solved but I may not recover from the stress of the paperwork.
OK I feel better now.

Sounds like you dealt with workcover or some insurance company and yes everyone cops a whack at the fees .

I don’t think it has anything to do with lacking judgment and being able to pass safely but in this particular instance where MB posted photos it is bloody nearly impossible .
I know this hill and its definetly not designed for overtaking, even a bike.
This is why it was mentioned it would take 20 minutes extra to get up the hill.
It creates frustration in drivers and therefore becomes dangerous as cars try and pass.
Definitely not on in this scenario, and I can tell you now there are million other spots the same.
Get these Lycra wearing pansies somewhere where they won’t inconvenience daily traffic... simple as that

Just had the "exhaust" done mate. The "injector" hasn't worked properly for years.

I sometimes feel like putting somthing on the depression thread when things are building up a bit, but usually see what others are going through and realise it aint so bad. Just going through the hoops with the missus at the moment. Can't understand that these medicos don't realise that when they use the phrase "possible CANCER" and then go on about not to worry probably not, the person doesn't really hear the words after the c word. Anyway everything has been positive so far and this will be too.
