DRIVING a car on one of Melbourne’s freeways or ring roads can feel a bit like paddling a canoe between container ships. It is not for the faint-hearted or the claustrophobic.
He ought to try it with a motorcycle. I have always felt that that experience was like riding between office blocks going 100km/h. To use Strong’s comparison, it is like swimming among container ships.
