Its about time the government put up signs warning motorists of where trees cross the road so motorists could avoid potential hazards.
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

I'll argue with that Chris.
When was the last time you heard of a drunk actually getting killed in one of these prangs??

The bastards get out & stagger away every bloody time.

I know a bloke wiped out a car at a level crossing with a 2000 tonne freight train. The guy on the passenger side of the car got out with a tinny in his hand. The driver had to be cut out but just had bruising.

So maybe being pissed is the way to go.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

I'm just quoting spoooko. I know someone who fell out of a car door belting around a roundabout in the shire, Apperantly he popped up thinking it was pretty cool. Maybe numb brain cells are harder to kill than active ones.

Not like the inactive ones who mentioned GenIII V6. I was meant to type V8 but was probably thinking about someones supercharged V6 T3 at the time.

I was in the passanger seat of an old ej holden when we hit a pissed lady wearing black walking up the middle of the road at 1030pm.

Made a sizeable dent in the ej, punted her clean out of her sandals, throught the windscreen in front of me and then flipped over the roof and hit the ground like a sack of excrament. Broke one of her legs but that was it. Loose and soggy helps the low injury count.

When I was an Ambo we saw many pissed ppl get out of incidents they shouldnt have. Some didnt though......
