Another D**khead
Read in the Sunday Times yesterday about a guy in Perth who got done by a multanova doing 105 in a 90 zone. Here's the best bit, he had his 10 month old son on his lap holding the wheel at the time. The photo also shows a woman in the back leaning up against the side of the drivers seat.
Also in another incident a 44 yr old woman died when her motorcycle hit a tree. This was 30 minutes after getting a a learners permit to ride it. No details about that crash yet. I'm not saying she was a d**khead though.
I can fully sympathise with the police about the lack of respect and care road users exhibit.

bad as my dad, he did 180 in a 110 zone ( got done for 160 ) when i was 6, my sister 8 and my brother 4.
he has since toned it down a bit, the copper went off his head at him
funny thing is he did it in a camry and his excuse was the car is so quiet ( it was brand new ) he couldn't hear the engine revving so hard!

Crash at Myponga yesterday in SA killed 5 people. That followed a truck crash earlier on the peninsular. No wonder SAPOL are going spare about drivers in the rain atm....
Have we been in a drought so long that people have forgotten how to drive in the rain???

44 year old woman is a ******** because she crashes a bike into a tree after getting her learners? That's a bit harsh don't you think.

Instant Idiot? Just add rain!
From my experience, people drive more stupidly in the rain. They speed more, observe less, and are far more reckless. This is from commuting every day from the Central Coast to Sydney, I'm not sure about other places... Although my fiance has the same experience from just driving around in general. Every time it rains she rings me up to tell me about the things she's seen people do

Actually we've had a LOT of rain here lately only problem is that 99% of it completely misses our catchments  .
Seriously, we'll get massive puddles on the road, non-stop rain for 48 hours at a time, sky clouded over for 3 weeks, and the catchment might get 2mm if we're lucky...

sounds about right. we were on holidays for two months during winter a few years ago. huge rains so we thought the tanks would be chockas when we got home... turns out a tree branch fell on the main pipe into the rainwater system and snapped it in two! prob 80% of the water ended up on the ground... typical but at least it did rain then!

He did clearly say he's not calling her a ********... He was jst pointing out another crash that he read about...
He's calling the guy doing 105 with the lil kid a dickh*ad though! And i totally agree
