Dave: 1, Main Roads: 0 (still)

On the weekend Dave was driving his skyline to church and apparently the council had recently painted the line markings on the road which somehow flicked up into the tire well:

So Dave the sent main roads a letter:

To: www.feedback@mainroads.qld.gov.au
From: Dave 'e-thug' Broughton
Subject: a big thanks

For leaving wet line markings on the road between Salisbury and Musgrave road behind Suncorp stadium.

My car picked up all the white paint and flicked all down the side of my car.

Lucky it came off.

Then they reply:

Thank you for your email.
To establish the appropriate office in which to forward your email to, would you please clarify :
* if Salisbury is the suburb or a road within the area in which you describe?
* Did you travel from Salisbury to Musgrave Road?
* Were the line markings behind the Suncorp Stadium?

The area behind the Suncorp Stadium and Musgrave Road are not state-controlled and the Department of Main Roads is not the responsible agency.
You should direct your email to Brisbane City Council at www.brisbane.qld.gov.

Dave's nice double spaced reply:

It looks like there was fresh line markings on Marshall rd on the Salisbury (suburb) side of the freeway.

I noticed them yesterday afternoon when I was retracing my steps.

I didnt notice any signs for fresh line markings anywhere on the trip, nor the next day.

The route i travelled was Orange grove rd into Marshall rd into holland park (steculia avenue into dunrod st)

Then back down orange grove rd to annerley via ekebin rd, then from there onto ipswich rd and then on to the freeway at julliette st

then inner city bypass to hale and musgrave at a church where i noticed the paint.

i have cleaned most of the paint off.

have attached pix of the mess it made.

A lady from Main Roads then called Dave up because she couldnt understand his email. Dave sure was embarrassed.
