Thread: After a succesful days fishing and returning home, only a second to spare!

I think you have the video set to private, it wants me to sign in to view it.

It is set to public so can't see why you are having probs.
Cheers, Mario

That was a little close.... Its times like that where I'd like to own a car which I've modified to contain a ring of thick wall RHS all the way around it.. Someone pills out.... Keep driving! No biggie!! 😂

Hello Mario,

Did you come for a visit to Bundaberg did you?

That is a classic move here. I have developed a theory that the driver is extremely short-sighted.

I have observed people sitting at T- intersections at the terminating road. There will be no cars coming towards me on the continuing road and there is no car following behind me. The people in the other car at the T-intersection will wait until I reach a certain distance (when I must come into their vision) and then they start to cross over the road in front of me.

Once they can see a car coming towards them they feel safe to cross - better the devil you know I suppose. The trouble is with adopting this approach is that their reaction time is not as good as it once was - just like their eyesight! Otherwise they would have to cross the road without being able to see anything coming.

I am very wary of T intersections here!

Kind Regards
Lionel

I imagine a Range Rover would be pretty hard to see, B-doubles apparently are.

Try driving a 600kg haflinger with little drum brakes, no doors, no roof and lap seatbelts. The horn works well though

This is a vid - on the same trip and over a 10 minute period.
Yep some people need glasses or maybe just pay attention

Garry, you too must have a cloaking device on your haflie also, it's seems chicken is the new game to play on the road these days.
The first oxygen bandit in your vid busted his guts to get in front of you only to turn left not far after, he could have waited safely behind you.

I can only imagine what truckies must go through on the road every day, people cutting them off etc, they can't pull up very quickly.

I have become very wary of green lights down here, green is the new red and red is the new green it seems
