Thread: Lowest road toll in 90 years - why?

Yes, I assume someone is reading this right now. No, that wasn't a joke - I really do assume that. If we mention the right words, the computers will trigger a response. After all, we now know that all communications which go through a satellite at any point are being monitored.

Just read a FB post about a bloke complaining he was fined $146 on the Logan Motorway for not keeping both feet on the footpegs of his motorcycle - apparently he stretched a leg to ward off cramp and a cop fined him. How ridiculous! TIme to revolt folks.

well best go talk to Clive perhaps. His the only bloke with money. And perhaps the only bloke willing to see things outside the usual two parties (Boofhead and Boso) way of thinking.

I can tell you, writing letters is a wast of time. Usually don't even respond.

Two interesting facts about 2013:

1. 2013 had the lowest road toll in 90 years in NSW and Victoria.

2. 2013 was the hottest year in Australia in 90 years, according to the official weather records.

Those who enjoy conspiracy theories ( or dodgy logic) might conclude that hot weather lowers the road toll, while cold weather causes more people to crash. Unlikely, I would think, but amusing.

Might actually be some substance in it - wet weather does result in more accidents, and wet weather is usually associated with cold weather.

There's no money in suicide for the government because they haven't worked out how to use their collective data to work out who are the likely candidates and then take out insurance policies on them and collect.

I got a fine in the mail in Dec, photo was taken in March, hire car. They stuffed around that long that the fine penalties have trippled the original value. Now despite the fact that it wasn't passed to me until Dec apparently I'm still liable for the non payment penalties. We'll see about that in court.

I reckon that we see fewer nasty "multi-splat" casualties than 10 or 15 years ago. Its not just that fewer traumas die- there aren't as many full stop.

They reckon that 80000 people are alive now who would have died if the rules (and society) changes we have seen since 1970 hadn't happened.
