Surely, encouraging drunk drivers and boy racers onto the higher speed motorways during the '7 deadliest days' is contrary to their safety efforts.

Complimentary Motorways should be free   everyday to free up Inner city Traffic Jams, ........I know many people  who  drive through  inner city  because they cant,  or don't want to pay Motorway  fees...

I really wish they would stop this idiocy of referring to everything around this time of year as "a gift to the people", as though the cost won't eventually be paid by those same people via taxes.

I complement the Minister for Transport on his generosity. 😋
