On the road

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hello and Happy New Year to you!

This is about risk taking, danger and weather conditions if you are away from home. People were overtaking us in these conditions at well over 120Km oblivious to the danger to themselves and other road users and possibly annoyed that we kept to the speed limit.

I wish you a Happy, SAFE and Prosperous New Year for you and your loved ones. I hope you like it.

Yes I had the unpleasant experience of being tailgated by a - to put it eloquently- 'tosser' in a white Mercedes yesterday who insisted on flashing his lights etc to get my to either change lanes or drive faster... I was in the left hand lane and already a few km's over the speed limit.. *sigh*..

I got the last laugh though when I spotted him several km's up the road being booked by a motorbike cop.. a quick pip of the horn and cheery wave later I was on my way.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Have driven this road for 18 years to Brisbane and back. Probably one of the worst major highways in Australia, if you break down there is nowhere to go except over the edge and I have seen many do so For eg; a trailer and car doing a 180 in front of me and off the verge into the bush at nearly 100kmh. I try to stay off it during holidays due to greater than usual number of maniacs. What is worst is B doubles and the torrential rain that occasionally occurs and being stuck behind one of them or more often passed by 100 speed limited trucks in these conditions while the speed limit is 110. Luckily my little Volvo cocoon keeps me warm and dry. :D
In the end we know Nothing, but in the meantime Learn like crazy.
