Pullover

On Wednesday Patrik went to see an Architect that runs a one man Architect and house builder firm. Some friends that we met at a BBQ had been hiring him and recommended Patrik to get in touch with him. So Patrik got in the car together with the street directory to find his way to Camp hill. It went pretty well driving with one eye on the map and one on the road. Soon he was there, just one final right turn to get to the right street. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible to turn where he wanted to so he continued to the next set of traffic lights to do a U-turn.
After this little episode he was happy again feeling good about finding the way through the city. The feeling didn’t last for long though, as it soon was distorted by a look in the rear view mirror. There it was, the classic “things-you-don’t-want-to-see-behind-you-when-you-driving” police car with flashing lights. After pulling over a policeman came up to the car asking about what the reason was for doing a U-turn over by the traffic light. After some explanation the policeman realized that this was just a stupid Swede trying his best. So he settled with telling Patrik that it isn’t permitted to do U-turns by traffic lights unless it is stated so on a sign. Patrik then thanked him for the information and they shook hands on that he would now follow the Aussie laws.
