Justin,
It is indeed sad the way it has gone, and not just in Sydney. Down here in Wollongong, they have gone just as mad:
* No parking virtually anywhere after 9pm. Where are we supposed to park to talk with friends etc.?
* Beach roads closed on weekends so we can't hang out there. What about tourism etc. ?
* Re-paving previously straight roads into silly chicanes and in the process, removing about 50 car parking spaces.
I vaguely remember the old days (10-15 years ago) things were definitely not like this. You just can't do *anything* anymore without getting into trouble. It seems the only thing you are allowed to drive today is a stock Hyundai Excel.
Another example, last night I went for one lap of the city and passed 7 police cars, and 1 RBT station (decoy defecting station). I drive a Soarer, so naturally I have to get pulled over and breath-tested, even though the RBT station is well over-full, but hey, I drive a nice car and I'm under 25... why not weild some power and pull you over to give you a scare.
It just makes me furious... the roads are turning into some sort of communist system where we can only do exactly what they say (according to some convoluted law system about cars) and never have any fun for ourselves, regardless of how harmless it is.
Obviously there are some idiots out there who abuse the rules, and they should be taken care of, but is the majority who still abide by the law, and shouldn't have it ruined by the small minority of morons.
Sorry for the rant, but it really annoys me that we aren't allowed to have lives anymore. I was told by a cop to go home the other night because I was driving around after 9pm. What the f*** is that all about ?
Anyway... I'd better stop now before I pop a vein, or say something really nasty that I could get sued for.
