Re: Xmas is Nearly Here
Today is the start of the crazy season on the road. School holidays start today in SA and probably the rest of Australia would probably be around the same. Dad or mum has been working all day and then frantically packing the car/caravan/motorhome/camper trailer and packing in the very excited kids, and off they go. 5 mins up the road the "are we there yet" start and both driver and navigator start getting peeved about all the traffic and the kids and ....... Concentration and good sense goes out the window and is replaced with, "just get there are quick as possible, even if I have drive all night" forgetting they have just worked all day and maybe never drive at night any other time of the yr. A recipe for a few unhappy Christmas memories. The sooner the driverless cars become main stream the better, it will at least take that part of the equation. Hopefully they don't rely on Sensis mapping through or there will be a few heading up walking tracks of off into rivers or lakes

Re: Xmas is Nearly Here
We NEVER travel in Girt during school holidays unless it is absolutely unavoidable.
Too many idiot drivers about.
Most of whom cannot comprehend the meaning of our enormous bumper sticker “DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE”.
Most either think it doesn’t apply to them, or they don’t count roundabouts or left turns as “turning”.

Re: Xmas is Nearly Here
Stay safe everyone. Yes they really are mad out there... we see them every year. We do drive a few hours to get the family all together and it's worth it in the end, but the rest of the traffic is driven by loonies and nutters. So stay away from them all xxx
Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Re: Xmas is Nearly Here
and we don't get the "are we there yet" cries from the back seat. I much prefer to drive at night, always have. You just need good lights that dazzle the 'roos and away you go. The Mazda has a single driving light with an LED aftermarket bulb installed. Turns night into day and lights up the post reflectors 1km up the road. we don't even get challenged by the truckies because they can see the ball of light before the crest the hill. Had a few idiots forget to dip their lights, a quick reminder seems to do the trick

Re: Xmas is Nearly Here
In my callow youth, I drove a Mini fitted with a single bitumen-melter. Range: 1.5 MILES.Had a few idiots forget to dip their lights, a quick reminder seems to do the trick
Once came upon an approaching Jag Mk VII, with what appeared to be high beam.
I flashed my spotty at him,and he retaliated with THREE PAIRS of butumen-melters... in sequence.
Seems his boot was fully loaded.
