This bloke was Swiss I recall, he will be well aware, if he's obtained his Swiss DL, that for motorway class roads; pedestrians, horses and horse drawn vehicles, tractors, cycles and slow moving vehicles are prohibited.

This is international law held in The UN Convention on Road Traffic, it is contracted by 99% of countries including Australia. (Although some our public servants forget this, and is why certain primary driving regulations actually exist). Agree, we need to reinstall more prohibitory signs at freeway on-ramps.

His mental health is perhaps not the best.
