    I'm with Eevo, the religious crap in the middle just made me angry that I had been conned into having to read something by an innapropriate heading.
    It could have had a far more important message attached, such as...seatbelts save truckies too... or mentioned that a responsible parent ensures his/her children are safely buckled up or in appropriate child capsules.

    That duty of care that limited the childrens' chances of survival was to the parent who then blamed someone else for their own lack of preventative measures.

    Not the smartest tool in the shed.

    Ian, as a truckie, I guess you see idiots all the time and I bet you have had some close encounters. All I can say is "God must love idiots, he made enough of them".
    In my job as a busdriver I drive in heavy traffic all the time (as you know) and boy do I see some morons who are on a death wish. The average car driver does NOT know how to drive near heavy vehicles.

    I don't know if it's a true story, but I don't think that's what the thrust of the message is about.
    It's saying that all actions have consequences.
    FWIW I didn't pick up on an overly religious tone, but even now re-reading it, it doesn't seem to be pushing it on anybody.
    However it did occur to me that the children should have been properly restrained, but If the date of the story is correct then things would be a fair bit different.

    Its a tragic story of loss, but I just don't get it, why is it here?

    God didn't save anyone, the RFS, SES, Police and Ambulance saved the two adults and unfortunately the two children died..

    Or is it a story about impatient car drivers?

    Still don't get it.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Sorry, only just realised I got the date wrong. Thought it 75 not 95
