In the past couple of weeks I have been out walking all over the place. I don’t have access to a car here in Sydney and the bus and train options are plentiful, however I aim to get fit while I’m here so walking is the go unless the weather craps itself, or I’m needing to go a serious distance like over the bridge and into the city. Most of the walking is along the A1 or the A3 highways and therefore 6 busy lanes of traffic and the walking gives me the opportunity to observe cars on the road.
Owning a Mercedes or BMW seems to be the popular choice here to demonstrate wealth, but the real statement is being made by the number of Tesla and Porsche on the road especially with the latter. Depending on the time of the day, you will see one or both options drive past every two minutes and at its peak it will be every 30 seconds!
Finally the ute, a personal favourite of mine. They are not as popular here as they are in New Zealand and hardly feature on the roads. Vans appear to be the vehicle of choice for tradies.
