What's your problem?

Do you mean you didn't do that when you were a kid?

I dunno, some people!

Well some do and some don't. What you don't here the towers talk about is
our good mate Dan who was towing the same stretch of road and came off in
the crown casino tunnel after a driver realised he was towing and swerved
into the side causing him to hit the gutter and land on his head. No helmet
either.

Dan is still learning to walk and talk years later :-(

Reason I don't tow :-)

It used to be ok with the old W class trams up Collins but they are long
gone. At least they crawled along and were predictable.

Well that sucks. Was the driver charged with anything?

yeah he was caught on camera but basically got a slap on the wrist while the
pushie cops at the time blitzed us guys in the city over the most trivial of
all offenses like pulling up at lights but with our front wheel over the
white line :-0

I hope the car driver was charged for exceeding the speed limit as
well, pretty sure none of Kings way is an 80kph zone...

So who's ticket is it??

Were the velocops at this again recently? I recall them doing similar
stuff circa '98 when the then Chairman Jeff got all ****ypants about
'rogue couriers'. Riding on the footpath, scaring the suits! Oh,
naughty young people!

Ok riding on the footpath should be avoided, but it's hardly a hanging
offence.
