You know, this really opens ones eyes to all the trauma that humans inflict upon ones selves during moments of maddness & bad judgement, but one wonders, what percentage of the road toll statistics actually relate to speed? I am a non drinker, Milo is the go!! ( probably why I have diabetes) Frank
Well I do have a beer or a wine occasionaly, I controll what I do when I have a drink, more than one alcoholic drink in a few hours and no driving, however I know for a fact that it's not just alcohol that is the problem, I lost two mates in my younger days, both at the wheel of a car, both single car accidents and both completely sober but full of adrenalin and out having a "good" time. We all need to wise up to the fact that it isn't a race track out there, we all need to remember that very fact 12 months of the year and every second we are on the road, drive to reflect the fact that we need to protect ourselves from ourselves and others as there are some real idiots out there and they aren't all ripping around in lowered rice cars full of alcohol, some are elderly, some are young, some are just plain incompetant some are just selfish and want the road all to themselves.
Have a great Christmas / new year all and best of luck to you.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
Should be played on every television in the country. Full stop.
I'm just about to leave work and hit the F3 (for those interstate, it's the main road north out of Sydney) in my baja to go home. Good wake-up call to watch.

The frustrating part is all those young drivers out there see this kinda stuff and think it just wont happen to them, it takes being in that situation for them to realise shit like that is real.
Back when I used to work in refrigeration one of our workshops was straight across the road from the holding yard where police brought the cars that are in major accidents including fatalities for the forenzics and crash investigation to inspect.
You would not believe how many of the really messed up ones still had P plates attached
flying through a windscreen from a head-on accident to a sudden stop , actually does hurt
details of it are way too intensive to type here
not drunk,,, not my fault,,, had enough time to hit the brake peddle but not enough to push it or turn the wheel to miss him,,, another idiot wanting to get home to root his wife at lunch,,,
wrecked my car he did :-)
ok,,, not funny ,,, i know,,, it was me who went through the windscreen, smashed my knees, broken ribs, right arm, & 156 stitches in my face,,, nearly totally scalped me actually ,,, & you all thought i was born ugly :-)
this was all 30 years ago & i was one of those young ones who never thought it would happen to me
it`s not just "YOUR" driving,,, you only have to be out there
stay safe
damn good video that one
I used to like driving drunk,,, in a paddocks chasing rabbits/hairs,,, can`t do it these days tho,,, not many rabbits/hairs around to chase anymore :-)
besides,,, i never ever hit them,,, just chased them
merry Christmas, happy new year to all of you wonderful people, thanks for letting me be a part of your quality & friendly community (even tho i drive a mini too) ,,, just stay off the roads during this time period & you`ll be fine
