Please Stay Safe on our Roads?

[Kit_e_kat9]

Hi Swaggies,

Here is a good example of why YOU should not be complacent when on our roads at ANY time.  Action starts at 14:33:30 and turn it up (or down) as you'll hear some swearing and the reply from the "other" truckie.  Strewth!

I'm more surprised the mobile roadblock didnt nail it up to 170 kph once they reached the overtaking lane then slow down again at the end.....

Oh yea, the truck driver was a tool

PS.. it will end up on today toaffair

Spending Xmas in Cairns, and all the way up from the Sunny Coast that's what we experienced - people doing 95 holding up traffic, then adding 10-15 every time there was an overtaking lane.

Had to back off a few times to ensure an oncoming vehicle performing a dangerous overtake didn't go under the front of the Patrol.

Truly it is hard to believe that the Bruce Highway is Queensland's major highway. It is easily the worst major road I've ever driven on. Especially when you see that the $20 billion that is needed to upgrade the Bruce was spent on making the Ipswich to Brisbane commute take 45 minutes instead of 55 minutes.

We actually stopped at the place that Mrs Squalo's father and stepmother died in a head-on near Proserpine (along with three other people in the other car; the driver of the other car who'd fallen asleep survived, of course). And while we were there at the site; which is clearly marked with a cross, someone threw a can at us from a passing car... seriously what hope do you have when you are sharing the roads with people like that.

Anyway, we got here, now to get back in one piece.

The driver towing the CT did well to pick it up.

Thank god there were no 'dog' highway patrol around!

It's interesting seeing the comments about the Bruce highway, we have just returned from 4 weeks in qld going to cooktown from vic and in our travels we saw the remnants of two fatal accidents, one north of Mackay and one north of gympie where the emergency services were standing around waiting for the bodies to get scraped up.
I couldn't believe the state of the road or that so many impatient idiots were on it. The one that stands out was while waiting to turn at a stop sign north of cairns with the camper on, I was overtaken at the stop sign by a car going up the inside of me not even slowing down.

I am surprised there are any people left in fnq given how many flowers there are on the sides of the roads. I live in the yarra valley on what must be one of Victoria's worst main highways ( Melba) and travel up and down all of the time, see a few accidents but I was genuinely scared for my family on the Bruce highway.

As said above, take it easy on the roads and leave space to predict other morons actions.

The P plater driving with both his feet out the window, as seen on ACA tonite, would belong in the same category. No wonder some retirees never leave home.
