Meh, this is our life on Enmore Rd in Sydney on Friday and Saturdays nights until the early morning. Not sure if it's already been designated an entertainment precinct but it's meant to be. For some reason that attracts people with loud cars and bikes.

I don't think any zoning laws anywhere in Australia would allow for this on public roads.

Happy to be corrected, but this shit takes it's toll on everyone else's wellbeing.

When I lived about 5 km from the city (Melbourne), I'd hear some arsehole (cars, as well as bikes) ripping it down the road at least every 20 minutes, all fucking day.

I do not give a shit what your hobbies are, but they had better not be giving me heart disease...

These fuckers deserve to have their bikes/cars confiscated for putting on illegal mods on the second offence. Not per vehicle, per fucking lifetime.

You get one chance, then you had better start keeping receipts so you never have an illegal mod ever again...

Just a heads up, there is a seven day delay with comments federating between lemmy.world and aussie.zone. You'll get this reply in a week!

Ah heck, thanks for the tip. That's not terribly convenient ๐Ÿ˜…

Apparently there is a fix in the works and I think it's gonna be in the next release. Anyway, now you know until then to use your az account when commenting/replying on/to az account posts/comments for quicker replies from az folk!
