Hi,
I just wonder how "safe" do you feel when riding M4?
I would like to commute from Parramatta to Huntingwood/Eastern Creek and while M4 seems so very convenient but... As I was driving (westbound) in the left lane and was contemplating how I'd go about cycling on the shoulder I was overtaken by a Mr Commodore using the SHOULDER as the overtaking lane. This was in the morning peak hour and I was doing about 80km/h, folloing a truck. Mr Commodore must have been doing at least 90-100 km/h. I could hear the engine scream as he stepped on it. There was a truck in front of me slowing down the lane a bit, all other lanes quite busy so Mr Commodore obviously could not wait another 10 seconds and had to overtake... There I was, shocked, gripping the steering wheel of my little hatchback -- I have not taken note of the rego I just know the commodore was white...
Now I am having second thoughts on commuting using M4 . Is there anyone who actually uses it? Would you encourage me/recommend M4?
