Bundoora students’ drive to be safer
Lachlan Holmes learns about safe driving.
PARADE College students gave up a day of their school holidays to learn the basics in safe driving in a pre-driver education course.
About 20 year 10 boys practised their new manual car-handling skills and gained some valuable driving experience under the guidance of Metropolitan Traffic Education Centre experts in Bayswater North.
Parade Fathers committee president Leo Delinac said recent road safety campaigns and media coverage surrounding hoon driving were the main reasons behind the program.

Bus stop to blame for Bundoora accident
The bus stop at Grimshaw St
A WOMAN whose car was t-boned by a cement truck in Bundoora says a poorly located bus stop was to blame for the accident.
The bus stop and shelter outside the shopping strip at 445 Grimshaw St were moved 30m as part of a bus stop upgrade for the 902 SmartBus in April.
But Eltham North’s Nicki Holding, 19, who works at Greensborough Lanes, said the shelter blocked the line of sight for drivers exiting the car park.

Auctions power on, footy or not
MELBOURNE’S auction market yesterday posted one of its strongest performances in months, despite the disruption caused by the grand final rematch.
The auction clearance rate hit 74 per cent, well above the average of about 69 per cent seen in August and September, according to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria.
The rise was fuelled in large part by a drop-off in the number of properties up for sale as vendors rushed to postpone auctions after last weekend’s grand final draw. An unusually large number of properties were also snapped up before auction.
Almost 20 per cent of auctions originally set to take place yesterday were rescheduled over the next fortnight – 115 out of 585.
