I've learned the hard way, just to back off and let them get past,
some of these guys have a 'stobie pole' with their name on it.


Since my thread compass has swung off track, this is a stobie pole.

They're VERY good at stopping errant cars that leave the roadway.
150km/hr to 0 in .1 of a metre.



Ah yes the Austrailian version of our ""dancing light poles"

" No, Officer , I didn.t leave the road, the light pole jumpped out in
front of me!"
