Headlights on in daylight
(Preview)
I'm in total agreement with having your headlights on in the daylight, anything to make you more visible. But the thing that annoys me is the people that have their lights on high beam.

Forum Ads

Is it just me, or is everyone suddenly getting ads on the left side of the page when in the forum? It's not the ads themselves that worry me, its the fact that every single page I visit I have to scroll across to the right to see the full text. Can't we have the ads at the top of the page instead please??

End of Free Camping in Tasmania.

Reading the promo on the Home page I was wondering what was going on. Yes, it is true that in a couple of instances, silly people are ruining it for everyone by camping in reserves or car parks next to legitimate caravan parks. They even have the nerve to walk in and use the facilities and wonder why park o...
