Went through PR to PG this afternoon. 30km Before PG got stopped in a roadblock. YEs the Friggin a$$h0les are at it again.
They check the whole nine yard - and the arrogance!
But I will not vent on this forum but be aware.

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!
A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Hi Darryl. Did u use the N17? I am also told that the road are only bad between Ermelo & PR? s that true? I was told that at Ermelo you can bypass the repairs by heading towards Amsterdam. Pse advise of your experience.

PR PG is full of road works. Check speed when exiting PR - they check speed on average over 3km
