Vince sent me a link to this interesting video about how to drive your car on Melbourne streets that include tram traffic. It's got a driver's ed vibe, but I've never been to Melbourne and these glimpses of trams plying the streets of the city are quite interesting. Although, I don't think I'd ever master that 'hook turn'.
I doubt any Melbourne taxi driver has seen and comprehends what was in that video. I have seen various interpretations of the hook turn usually by those driving cars with an out of state plate. The laws of physics do apply, and all cases the tram wins.
ReplyDeleteIt might turn out that most of the viewers reside north of the 49th parallel and the Great Lakes.
DeleteI am surprised given that it is branded with Vicroads, the DMV of the state of Victoria, the mob responsible for licencing and registrations.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an informative video. I hope it hits the audience it's intended for.
