Evidently all the press hasn't made a bit of difference to the Presidential motorcade. Should cycle squad be dealing with dangerous driving, not stroking dangerous egos?
A reader reports:
Wednesday 25 Apr 07 10:29am Ferry Reach Road heading east 3 Police motorcycle outriders (in dress uniform) Premier's Limo 2 other cars with flashing lights (leading and following limo) Front riding motorcycle cop waving oncomming traffic to side of the road as if a wide load was comming.You should start a "Spot the motorcade" competition!
Get that. Six vehicles in total, 3 motorcycles, GP1 and two additional cars.
[UPDATE: A few readers have written in suggesting that this was for the Peppercorn ceremony which like most formal parades has always included a motorcade for a little pomp and circumstance. And in this case, the Deputy Premier Paula Cox was the occupant as Dr. Brown was at RIMS.]
