This is exactly why

Of course it does! He would be able to escape if not tow anything. Thus what I have said one need to be extra careful when towing.

Serg

is being asleep in attention.....if asleep it would not matter if one was towing or not...so what has towing got to do with it if it is so

please disregard what i just posted...after reading the link i doubt that he was asleep

disreagrd what i have just posted

now theres one for the experts...the last follow up by me was actually posted first....so whats the go?

OMG, there are 4 of those faces in a row.......how scarey is that?

Andrew

just be thankful its not your face

Oh crap it's cloned itself!!!!

Flappa,

With the Police investigation still to be completed and the Coroners inquest to be held, you would rather believe the newspaper reporter ????

Please don't believe everything you read mate.

as for the towing it was a contributing factor- not a cause (only going from what I surmise from the report)

What Davoe said.....

I should of said this accident MAY of happened even if they had no trailer on.

Adding to this the number of vehicles towing that we see with the front in the air and the back of the vehicle scraping the ground then towing is unbelievable....why don't the police crack down on them.

The four things I hate on country roads are-

1) Caravaners who are going on there yearly trip.
2) People with a new tow vehicle and caravan or camper trailer who don't know how to drive in a safe manner.
3) Local people who are coming home from work who sit on 70Kph in a 100Kph zone.
4) People who would sooner watch the scenery then the road.

3) maybe they are aware of and are driving to the local conditions....

In any case, a tragedy that may remind us to play it safe on the roads.

Olcoolone,

Who's left then mate :)

How do you play it safe on the road..nobody is going to go out and say "today i might kill someone" just for the hell of it.

I get sick of people saying we should drive slower, be more cautious of other drivers, not do this not do that and so on.

A lot of people are to blasé about driving.

I clock up about 1000k a week and the stuff you see every day is unbelievable and it does not involve speed just stupidity but the law don't care about that because it doesn't bring money in.

They need to get people back to the basics of driving and common sense and courtesy like don't use indacators $500 fine and 6 points or cutting in front of some one to do a turn $1000 and 10 points.

There was another fatal accident on the Adelaide to Victor Harbor road overnight and now there is a big ho ha about the road being dangerous...I have driven that road many times and do not have a problem with it and I think it is a safe road, maybe the authorities should get of fat A$&S*S and look at why the road is dangerous to somea few drivers.

But as they say speeding kills but it is the smallest factor in road accidents.

Olcooolone,
Gotta say I agree with you 100 %. Like yourself I drive 500 - 1000 km every week around Melbourne for work and the number of just plain stupid, idiotic things I see the average brain dead doing while in control of a motor vehicle is mind numbing.
Having said that I know I'm not the greatest driver ever but at least I like to think I try to think while I'm behind the wheel.

To think I wasted all that money on driving lessons and a licence when I could have simply got one out of a cereal box like most people seem to have....
