I'm part way through writing my request to the CEO of the RTA asking if I can have special dispensation to drive anti-clockwise at roundabouts when it is clear there are no other drivers are in the vicinity. By driving Anti-clockwise when exiting right it will reduce the distance of my journey making my trip cheaper. I believe if all of Australia's drivers took such action, the reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions would be significant.
Ok, I joke, but is there really that much difference between this hypothetical scenario and what Mr Smith is proposing?
