I was out East Moreland way one Sat afternoon when a driver objected to me
photographing him and clearly left the controls to make rude gestures to me, I
duly photographed his face and lack of control and sent it to Brunswick Depot.
Don't know what happened though.

The other driver - same day a little further south - a lady driver from South
Melbourne and was busy telling me off for photographing her tram promptly lost
her pole on the S curves and had to put it right amongst the heavy road
traffic. Serves her right I thought as I took my photos just the same.

Don't forget it takes all types.
