Stealth Potholing.

In this age of ever complicated and over legislated bullshit, even fixing a pothole is a complicated operation. Should I see one developing on the road, I cannot just stop and fix it, though in wet weather it can become a major problem in hours. We have to have three vehicles, one that does the work, and a pilot in front and behind. The distances apart are designated, they must have signs and flashing lights, we have to be in radio contact with each other. It's a bit like the 3rd Armoured Division on the march.
   This means of course, that, a minor problem is ignored until it becomes major, or we have enough potholes to make it worthwhile to mount an operation. It has also made me a renegade.
I will sneak in somewhere close, carefully study the traffic flow, and then scamper across the road and fill the hole, then make my getaway, feeling smug.
   If you ride a motorbike on State Highway 3, it might be nice to know, that there is a phantom figure trying to make sure you are not unhorsed.
