'Horror'
highway
? Sir, - I would like lo com
ment on the highway between
Canberra and Braidwood. Whilst
riding my motor cycle down to
Batcmans Bay with my sister- on
the back, I had great difficulty
in dodging the great number of
pot-hgles.
1 kept my mind on the road
all of the way but of course it
was impossible to avoid them all
causing damage to my machine.
One pot-hole that we hit must
have been quite deep because it
caused a very bad buckle in my'
rear rim. The rim Was only a
new one which I had recently
replaced because of a similar
type of mishap bn the "horror
stretch".
I would like to say on behalf
of ,myself and many other motor
cyclists and motorists that the
highway is in a terrible mess and
is a very dangerous hazard to
both motorcyclists and cardriv
ers.'I include car drivers because
of the fact and I had to leave my
bike in Batcmans Bay and comc
back in a friend's car. The car
was.also thrown about by these
pot-holes even though not as
badly as a bike would be.
I hope (hat this "highway" is
fixed up as soon as possible and
that if enough people complain
something will be done about it.
