"Shouldn't" and "must not" are two very different terms. One is a legal requirement, the other is not.redned wrote:He definitely shouldn't be along side the white wagon, unless it is indicating a right hand turn. It is different to a cyclist, which is allowed to pass a stationary car on its left. I don't disagree with positioning himself to the left of the carriageway, and even over the bicycle lane, to make the left hand turn, but he shouldn't be alongside.
Like I said "unless QLD is very different to Victoria"....
