you really should be stopping every few hours anyway to combat fatigue and also, honestly, how many people can drive more than about 4 hours without a bathroom break?
My cousin has a tesla model 3 and can do around 500km per charge - when coupled with the network of fast chargers down the east coast, brisbane to melbourne is certinally possible
he drove to the holiday park where i stayed over easter near the QLD / NSW border and charged up whilst down there. on a quick charge it took 4 mins to recharge
The government is set to make a decision within months about whether to extend tolls on the Sydney Harbour Tunnel when existing arrangements expire at the end of August.
This has been mentioned earlier this year IIRC. It all came down to cost.
When you think of the cost blowout in other major road and transport projects around Melbourne, some of the money wasted could have gone to raising this bridge (and many other low clearance bridges in the city).
I saw at least 3 jacked up 4WDs try and enter the local shopping car park earlier today and they all hit the height limit bar (2.1 m) with their roof racks. Two of them still went in anyway.
I had to laugh⌠they think theyâre safe and can see over everyone being up that high and now they canât enter shopping centre car parks⌠LOL
Which when youâre talking about rail involves hundreds of metres all up to allow for a suitable gradient. The maximum tramways gradient in Melbourne is 1:400, if the bridge is raised over 2 metres to meet current standards for a new bridge that would require hundreds of metrea of rebuilding the alignment, reducing or relocating the relatively new depot let alone the impact of actually building it on tram services, motorists, cyclists (the bridge also carries a busy bike path) costings billions of dollars. All of this because every few months a motorist chooses to ignore one of 26 warning signs. Methinks the bridge ainât the problem here.
I see that the price of petrol has gone back over $2 a litre again Iâll have to limit my car trips to going to and from work only.
Usually I visit my parents in Northern NSW once a month but the car uses less fuel on a longer trip going 100 kms an hour ,itâs shorter trips stopping and starting that use more
