To everyone using the roads over the Easter Holiday period please take care and don't become a statistic.
Stick to the speed limit, don't drink and drive, be patient, only overtake when safe to do so, plan breaks if travelling long distances and remember you need to be aware of others on the road. Let's give our emergency services a quiet Easter.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend. :D :D :D :D :D

A shame that the wanker element won't change and I'm not seeing any indication of it changing and I do 950klms a day in a truck! 😡
Have a good Easter to yourself and ya family.

It's the time of year that a lot of city drivers, of limited road knowledge, hit the open road and do stupid things.

Heading out now, hopefully beat the swarm. Good luck everyone!

I hate to say this, but the words of the OP should apply 365.25 days per year. Its sad that we have to post reminders of good driving habits only at peak holidays times. All correct, but it would be super awesome if everyone started following and kept following day in day out.
And even sadder is the probability that those people who need to heed the advice the most are least likely to be reading this thread.

Agree wholeheartedly, having been on the road all my working life, I've seen plenty of close calls, stupidity and some tragic accidents.

You can't talkin about Victoria? It's never good down there, is it? :o
It's cyclonic here and wet near Bribie Island but I don't bloody care, because I have all the supplies that I need and don't need to associate with the plebs around the place. :P

Examples
142 in a 60 zone
114 in aa 40 roadworks
Disqualified bloke towing a boat trailer running in rims
Etc etc
Sadly these extremes are everyday incidents and only a “sample” not just occuring over Easter.

I couldn’t get a photo of the Fiat 500 coming towards me this afternoon, but it was a real winner...
Picture a Fiat 500 with another Fiat 500 on top of it.
There was 2 Jerry cans (that I could see) and a gazebo on the bottom layer, then some rolled up mattresses and chairs on the net layer, then some stuff wrapped in a tarp on the top layer.
All strapped down with some rope....
