Ask Ponch

[plonky]

Considering some people have general queries about the various legislation relating to traffic, I thought that Officer Poncherello and Officer John Baker may be able to help.

They can only help out with questions relating to traffic legislation and may be able to help out with criminal matters.

However, they will not answer questions about:

The Village People (No, even though they work in California, they have never met the Village People and probably never will)

Yes, jodphurs DO attract the girls (only if you have good legs and butt like me)

Yes, chicks dig motorcycle cops (ask Jim Goose, he'll agree with that one)

No, moustaches are no longer mandatory for Highway Patrol

Yes, leather caps and leggins do smell nice and look good

So, list the questions (genuine ones) about traffic rules etc and I will return tomorrow with some answers, (courtesy of my latest copy of Britts Traffic Law)

Cheers

When turning (left) onto a 2 lane road, do you have to wait for both oncoming lanes to be clear of traffic?

Is it legal to drive barefooted?

l assume its illegal to eat/drink while driving, so why can you smoke and drive :banghead:

There is a 3-lane road. Car A is in the left lane and car B is in the right lane. Both cars are travelling at the same speed at the same point of the road, ie neither car is in front or behind. Both cars indicate to change into the middle lane at the same time. Which car must give way?

1. Can you drink a beverage while driving (alcoholic and/or non-alcoholic)?

2. Is it an offence to NOT move forward, past the stop line after the traffic lights have turned green, while you are waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass before turning right.

3. Is it legal to have you elbow resting in such a way that part of your arm may be sticking out the window?
