Thread: Drivers in SA, have your say

not sure if that was a survey or propaganda disguised as a survey.


when the survey is over, im sure the govt will start a media campaign to educate us about our incorrect responses.

I believe you've nailed it there!!!

What a load of crap that was!

why is not every accident report made available so we can make informed choices ourselfs. rather than rely on so-called gray experts

back in 2011 or 2012, all the deaths and their causes for that year were released.

speeding made up about 5% of deaths.

My favourite chestnut - "We believe speed was a factor"..

Of-bloody-course it was.... Stationary objects do not collide....

Nothing is stationary, relatively speaking.

I hit another roo on Sunday. Or rather he hit me.
Had I been travelling at 100km/h rather than 90km/h he would have missed me but I would have probably hit the roo I missed earlier.

I clipped one on Friday night on the way to Waikerie - between Burra and Morgan...

Washed 60km/h off quickly as I could see him coming from the right.... I don't stop for all but the biggest ones... He paused and then jumped again - I got him, with the corner of the bar...

No damage, even though I was still doing 90 at the time

My pace did help me miss the other 7 or so...

A nice member of Table 8 later informed me that stretch of road is notorious for Kangaroos!

But 2 stationary objects can not collide (relative to the Earths surface)

Oh I dunno .......................

I've collided with many things (usually the floor) when I've been stationary after drinking copious amounts of brown ale ......................

Saw plenty of roos on the way back from Geraldton on Monday night. Didn't hit any though .................... I've got good lights on the front now and could see them all in plenty of time to slow down.
