    That's right.
  5. I put the same question to the AI search bot on my browser in relation to Victoria. Here is the answer - Yes, in Victoria, you can cross double white lines to pass a slow cyclist, but only under specific conditions. Key rules for crossing double lines to pass a cyclist: You must have a clear view ahead of any oncoming traffic. The manoeuvre must be safe and only done when necessary to maintain the required minimum passing distance. You must give at least 1 metre of clearance when passing a cyclist on roads with a speed limit of 60 km/h or less, and 1.5 metres on roads with a speed limit over 60 km/h. This rule applies to all motor vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. While crossing double lines is permitted for overtaking cyclists, it is not allowed for overtaking other vehicles unless it is safe and legal. Always remember: if it’s not safe to pass, slow down and wait. The priority is ensuring the safety of the cyclist and other road users.

  7. And if the verge is too narrow to allow you to pull over?

    Yesterday all my troubles seem so far away. A change of quiz for a few days.
  9. Hypothetical dilemma. You start to drive up a long sloping road, two lanes wide (one each way) divided by double white lines. You come across a cyclist, riding at about 5 kph. You have to stay 1 metre clear of him but can't pass without crossing the double line. Behind you, there is a police car, followed by a building line of traffic slowed by the cyclist. What do you do?
  10. They say he's been disfigured. Source: News video of Pete Hogsbreath news conference reporting the Kharg Island strike.
  11. I'm not saying it's not manipulated, they can blur out faces on Street View. Look it up yourself. Google Maps, search Tehran Airport, switch to satelite view, zoom in.
  12. A slight aside. I was looking up Tehran on Google Maps satellite view when I noticed this interesting scene at the airport. Look at the aircraft storage area in the centre of the image.
  13. Tomato or BBQ? Reported via MSN News. Can't recover it, so don't know who reported it.
  14. Russians furious as Putin cuts off internet: 'I started to panic' Throughout modern history, regimes seeking to maintain power have often targeted communication networks, limiting access to news, social media or mobile connectivity during times of political tension or security threats. Such measures are typically justified as necessary for national security. Critics, however, argue that restricting communication infrastructure can also make it easier for authorities to control public discourse and reduce the ability of citizens to organize Kremlin cites security The Kremlin says recent mobile internet disruptions in Russia were introduced for security reasons. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the restrictions comply with existing legislation and were necessary to ensure public safety. or share information. “All disconnections and restrictions on communication are carried out in strict accordance with current legislation,” Peskov said. The comments came after residents in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities reported widespread mobile internet outages. Networks disrupted Users first began reporting problems accessing websites and mobile applications in Moscow on March 5, according to the Russian technology outlet Kod Durova. In some cases, people said they lost service entirely and were unable to make phone calls. The disruptions affected Russia’s four largest telecom operators — MTS, Megafon, Beeline and T2 — though the outages appeared inconsistent depending on location.
