Revenge and retaliation can only cause trouble.
As good as it sounds to do to them, and hell knows I'd love to, its only fuel on the fire.
Councils are reducing free camps because of pressure from businesses.
National Sparks and wildfires don't want you anywhere near them and forests are actually trying to do their bit, but with limited government funding and resources, most gov depts can't provide the service needed.
Individuals lobbying local council is as useful as t1ts on a bullfrog.
Writing to papers won't sell advertising and protests - well ask the Greens how well they go.
A local copper is only going to resent being sent out to take on a heap of cranky agitated grey nomads who have been woken up, by what they perceive to be evil
satanic truck drivers who only intent is to kill them and make their lives miserable on the road.
Go on then if you don't believe me try rationalising with some old geyser even when he hasn't been woken up mid sleep.
They respect your opinion as long as its exactly the same as theirs.............
No I don't have an answer, but I know that p155ing them off will only make matters worse.
Personally I'd love to see 468 flat tyres on their inconsiderate donkeys van, and cars in the morning, but again this is only retaliation and wont solve a thing.
Another idea is to photograph each car with rego and post it on every GN and caravan site in the land, but again - dissent and aggravation.
Now a feasible solution is to approach organisations like RACQ and NRMA with said photos and some informed information of truck rest areas, times, distances and log books and ask them nicely to see what they can do.
This approach run through the right departments may work, but it may not. At least its having a go.
Now off topic slightly, but It seems that there are a lot of myswag posts about various gripes in life and on the road.
Neighbours, noise, speed, hoons, graffiti, selfish campers, smokers, dog owners, truck driver, gypsies and any other thing that people are annoyed at on the day.
Ultimately everyone ( me included) offers an opinion, we hear a few sagas then the thread slowly dies before the next vengeful rant about some selfish fool comes along.
I am yet to see a thread on any forum that can't be summed up with the rationale that it is ignorance and selfishness that is the problem.
Be it any gripe, its usually because someone is being selfish or inconsiderate.
Thankfully I find this forum, although the gripes are the same and the results are usually the same, has a nice bunch of people who actually do seem to care and share.
Thank you to all of you who make this little slice of
policia Australia, better.
