The invigilator laughed and said , just go.
If it's a standard enabled feature you can use it, it's pretty much commonplace in most cars on the road today anyways.
You cant use things like auto park assist as it needs to be manually triggered,
however reverse cameras/beepers CAN be used, but only in addition to head checks, not in place of them, avoid relying on them while moving, but they are good to know you surroundings.
Hahaha, that's a great plan.
It's important to do head checks as a driver, as a bike/motorcycle rider and as a pedestrian. You just don't know when someone is going to try and kill themselves or their children.
They don't ask you to turn ABS off for an emergency brake. Or turn off lane keep assist, or over speed warnings.
I wouldn't be concerned about it.
Or the reverse camera.

This is not a vote winner, at least not without a viable alternative. The Central West is an important growth area stymied by appalling accessibility.
As more and more people are priced out of Sydney, Bathurst and Orange are becoming ideal locations for semi-remote city workers to settle down.
Parkes is a national logistics hub situated smack-bang on the crossrails of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide/Perth and (when the Inland Rail is complete) Brisbane.
But while Parkes is only ~350km from Sydney it's still a 6-hour drive or a 7-to-8-hour coach and train trip. Absolutely ludicrous.
Good. The whole idea and potential cost is ridiculous. North and South of Sydney have 4 lane expressways, but the people west of Sydney get a 4 lane highway with traffic lights every couple of kilometres and school zones at every town. Building an 11km tunnel at the top of the mountain will do nothing to address this. Fenemore is only interested because the tunnel will enable B-double trucks to use the highway which they are currently unable to do because of Victoria Pass. The unseemly haste with which Paul Toole and the Libs have awarded contracts for this work before it was funded smacks of jobs for mates to me. The many billion dollars proposed for this relatively short section of a very long highway would be better spent building an entirely new expressway, like the often considered/never started Bells Line Expressway, leaving the Great Western Highway over the mountains as a local and tourist road, as it should be, with minimal heavy vehicles.
I used to see this all the time en route to Sydney after a quick visit to the Sneaky Ron's in Lithgow
It is a nice view

So this has happened in the past
Key reasons
- low oxygen in the water due to algal bloom
- algae caused by low river flow volume
- flow significantly reduced due to water theft
- research showed that I could be improved if flow improved and irrigators held less water
- none of the report's findings had been actioned.
Seriously messed up.
Having a dispute with my husband that I think it's just weird that he went to the pool with his cotton undies under his boardies and he tells me all men wear undies underneath. Men of Reddit, please clarify, am I wrong or is my husband a weirdo?
[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/11hocsw)
speedos under boardies, obviously.
I am honestly so surprised to see more wear jocks than not.
Speedos not undies that would be both unhygienic and sometimes damages the undies by making the waistbands loose as fuck in my experience
Speedos under boardies, especially in the ocean. Don’t wanna flash the Crown Jewels to everyone when I’m catching a wave
I used to wear cotton undies under my boardies until I got these boardies that have like a net underwear sewn into the inside of it. I think they’re the best of both worlds. Holds my jewels up and doesn’t get all manky from the water.
50/50%
* (Not) If I’m in a pool or at the beach just with family
* (Yes) at a friends, hotel, resort or something similar
Speedos yes, but not undies. That’s unhygienic.
Boardies are my excuse to freeball. Never wear anything under them. Ever.
Depends on the boardies and environment, but this is 100% normal.
I live in my boardies, lifelong surfer. But I never wear anything under my boardies. And in winter nothing under the wettie
after losing my boardies in a huge wave as a teen, it was a firm reminder to wear speedos under.
I suppose it'd be personal preference whether or not a bloke wants to be flopping about the place. Some boardie's can also have that mesh stuff inside which would be uncomfortable without a barrier.
Though is should be a speedo/tight swimmer not undies. only bogans wear undies to swim. And people who forgot their cozzies I guess.
I (m) just started doing some sun lazing in a g banger and I'm unsure I can go back now.
Surprisingly comfortable.
I used to wear undies under boardies, but switched a couple of years ago to budgies underneath. Everything dries a lot faster than with regular undies. I can't freeball, my stuff goes in weird directions when given free reign.
Wearing board shorts is already too much clothes to go swimming in let alone a second pair of clothes underneath.
P.S I used to be a competitive swimmer so anything more then speedos feels super weird.
Never even occurred to me to wear anything underneath bordies. Why??
swim trunks under
My penis and testicles are far too huge and impressive to fit in cotton underpants.
I go cammando most of the time, so...
You can get swim undies for men that are like boxers
Just boardies. I don’t get why anyone would wear anything else.
Undies if I’m wearing boardies as shorts. If going swimming, no undies.
Am I going swimming or to the beach! Nothing at all. If I'm just wearing them as shorts! yes.
Yes, but not cotton undies. Tell him to try the light AIRISM ones from Uniqlo.
I'm not a guy but I find this interesting
Your poll left out the most common combination: speedos under boardies.
Umm , Speedos?
No undies sounds very uncomfortable.
Wtf I’m 38 and have never worn undies under boardies. How is this a thing?
WTF? More people wear undies under boardies? Australians are weird.
Never done this, don't really watch other people in locker rooms either but don't think it's common.
No way. That’s for kooks and children. Anyone who does that, is weird
If you don't wear undies, your pubes and poo particles will be floating around in the water around you

Undies will suppress that involuntary boner you start to get when are checking out the talent. Plus the waistband won't rub as bad on the head if you have to tuck it up.
Your husband is preventing an uncomfortable situation.
Well, at the end of the day as long as the main bits are covered for unintended audiences eg kids, does it really matter? Technically it makes more sense to wear speedos or a comfortable equivalent underneath, but if cotton undies do the same job & don't cause him any issues, who is being hurt?
I wear mine over the top
I buy boardies with the built in mesh undies. But before that it was random whether I did or didn’t wear undies.
No big deal I guess.
I've lost my boardies in the surf before without a second layer of clothing. I deeply regretted how far away my towel was that day.
Not normal cotton underwear, a pair of speedos.
Undies under boardies because if you get a boner not gonna look good
All the men I know wear budgie smugglers under their boardies because the dry so much faster than undies.
It's best if men wear something under their boardies Speedos are best. There are Children present. Only priests and other perverts attend the pool with nothing under their board shorts. Keep your husband's wang for your own pleasure and games with consenting adults. When is his birthday? Buy him a couple of pairs of budgie smugglers.
Only if blue bottles are about
I've done both.
If it's a backyard pool, I usually cbf putting anything underneath.
Anything public (or locations where you need added protection from the local wildlife) I wear undies.
Does he eat burgers with a knife and fork?
Wearing underwear that's wet is just so uncomfortable and won't dry at all.
Was just about to say, speedos then boardies ftw!
Yes, the third option which OP left out.
I don't swim enough to bother buying speedos (they get crackly over time). Some of my shorts are light enough to count as boardies.
Yes. This should have been an option in the poll, OP.
