    saw a black golf mk5 gti with act plates in wishart,

    unfortunately the driver somehow could not differentiate between green and right light...

    the driver had driven off at red light about 5 seconds before it turned green!

    note: be alert and be careful, you could have been t-boned by a car at 60km/h.

    Ah yes, my beloved city is awash with such idiots.

    And I know what the problem is, no Police on the roads here in Canberra to catch them.

    Quite often in Canberra, you can be the first at the line, get a green light, and still have cars pouring through the intersection who have clearly run a red light coming from a different direction.

    Given our road network, most roads are 80kmh too. This guy in the Mk5 was 'lucky' it was only a 60 zone.

    Apologies, not that I should have to.

    Could the problem be that everyone is used to roundabouts and the lights just confuse them ?

    Nah, this place is just full of either 'Pubes' (Public Servants) or bogans. No one, literally, gives a ****.

    Exactly that happened last Friday night at the corner of Newnham and Wishart, not a golf though.
    Qld has much longer change cycles than other states, apparently due to the high number of red light accidents...:what:

    LOL wouldn't surprise me. I was stopped left lane of a dual carriage way both lanes block and a Nissan Patrol went to the left of me in the bicycle lane straight through the red light.......

    Back on topic;
    Spotted a red mk3 near the Caltex on GC Highway at Broadbeach which looked like it was lowered with BBS RS style rims and quad exhaust (no offence to the guy but I thought the quad exhaust looked pretty crap).

    Grey r32 near mater just now. If you have one working headlight, and turned right across the buses on a red light, then it was you I saw. Love the exhaust note though

    Wednesday 24th at Chatswood Shops at Daisy Hill, saw a blue R32 and a blue R parked together at about 6pm, looked cute haha.

    This morning at about 6:30 was on Ipswich Highway just past Springwood, on the opposite side a white Golf R, we both looked at each other at 110k so must be a keen VW owner
