This just tells the story of how they drive in Australia.

I have not seen a single Mama on the streets here. (Traffic Police).

If you break a signal automatically camera flashes and it sends ur details to the police. When you are at a round-about where there is no signal... always the veicle on the right hand side has the right of the way. ie he gets the priority.... and people on the left hand side THEY REALLY WAIT. The speed limit on most of the streets is 100km, and on smaller roads if it is different, it is mentioned.

Yesterday I saw and participated' in the first accident that took place on australian streets. My cousin was driving and we were going pretty slow and the traffic was bumper to bumper. We were looking outiside at the Porsche's and BMW's and Merc's and Lexus's and..... and suddenly he put his right foot on the break.. but too late.

We had already hit an old BMW. There was a lady inside. She immidiately turned the car on the left and parked it. So did we. She walked out and almost ran towards our car. I thought now Sandeep (my cousin) is going to get a tight slaps with some nice words as a bonus. What happened later is a real surprise.

She came, looked inside our car, and said.... 'Sorry, are you alright'. I was about to faint.

Sandeep told her he was fine. She said 'Lets Exchange'. Then both the drivers took out their liscences and exchanged details about addresses, phone numbers and car numbers. And thats all. She went off and so did we. I came to know that we now just contact the insurance people and then the insurance companies solve the matter between themselves. There is no need to argue about who's fault it is, and no swearing at all.



Thats a real cool experience.....
