And this on a fairly deserted beach.

The beach access at Goolwa (SA) is quite soft and chopped up. I used to have to take a decent run up in the Kingswood to make it through so I would always have a spotter for me.

well I reckon if you go fast enough up the dune and get airborn, you should actually miss any oncoming traffic due to the fact that you actually jump over it.Scoff if you must, but whats the chance of there being two people that stupid on either side of a single sand dune, simple law of probability.

Why am I reminded of the joke (from back in the days when we were allowed to be politically incorrect) of the Italian taxi driver in Sydney who always went through red traffic lights, but stopped at the green ones in case his brother-in-law was coming along the other street?

I'm sorry but as I posted before I'm with Tombraider.

For such a simplistic piece of equipment, why do we need stats and reports and investigations? If it saves you or someone else only once (even if it's in 20 years!), then it's worth it's weight in gold.

For the 5 minutes it takes to set one up surely it's worth the effort.

But thats OK...I have a very thick skin. Just means you and I have no future

Thats FINE! Take it whichever way you like...

You post how you turn lights on on the highway but off the track any attempt to be more visible is treated as a joke.

You and I never had any future.... I won't participate in trips etc with anyone not willing to enhance safety etc.....

Sorry about your skin

No it wasnt a rude insult... It was a statement.

Complacency is complacency...

How many of us pull the cord from the kettle without turning it off at the wall?
How many of us stand on a chair to change a light bulb...?

I'm just calling a spade a spade.... Saying it how it is....

If people take offence in being called to account on something thats not something I'll lose sleep over....

no,, I dont think you lose sleep over much at all,,

being called a complacent fool may not be an insult to you,,

but it was to NM.


and I would think most others,,,
