As a volinteer Ambulance Officer in Mandurah you gotta ask yourself why.

That section of road is as good as any why why why?

Buy the way if the Sea Rescue Member from no i wont say where is a member here from the Xmas fatality crash down there that i was dealing with i would like to say hi and hope you and your wife are doing well.

Or if someone knows of him say hi for me. We dont often here of the outcome but we do carry a lot of baggage from scene's  like that

Take care guys you families are waiting your return.

Its a bit late to head home early.

 - and well done as a volunteer - why is because of all the idiots who still do 120 in the new 100 zone as they were doing yesterday - my regards to the knob with vanity plate " Chelsea". They are simply stupid arrogant f....s who i will have to deal with again today on my way from work in Bunbury.

shot gun handy though...ha ha

yeh second that; qulaity work Garry and I know from experience you do a fanastic job.

Hi Ya,

Why? 

Because you have dopey stupid pricks and bitches like the one that was driving the 4x4 on the freeway this morning registration 1CWR xxx (won't include the numbers). 

There was two days worth of daylight between me and the vehicle behind me yet this stupid cow came past me then squeezed in between the me and the vehicle in front so she could exit onto Hodges drive.  Why the dopey, brainless bitch couldn't have pulled in behind me I have no idea.  I was travelling at 100kph so on the speed limit.

Then to add to her demonstration of brainlessness, after making a right turn onto Hodges, accelerated through the next set of lights after they had turned amber.  From point of acceleration, she was marginally behind me (I in the right lane she in the left) so had plenty of time to stop but no she was too important in her tiny brain to bother stopping.  The two cars in front of me in the right lane had plenty of time to stop as did I.

That's why.

Cheers - I think

I was coming home on the freeway yesty and a car had broken down in the centre lane.

everyone just drove around and left the old ladies stuck there.

I pulled up got the traffic to stop and with the assistance of two others that stopped pushed them of the road.

It took 1-2 mins.

why are people in so much of a hurry they cant stop and assist anyone else and just let the traffic jam build up.

60 km in and around road works just isnt good enough for some people. And I would like to know why it is so important to get in front of a truck even when Iam doing the speed limit? Dont even start me on fuckwits!!!

The traffic thru Williams is over the top tonite.Never seen it so busy,no wonder everything was booked out in Albany a month ago.

Hope everybody behaves on the road.

Hi Ya,

I know traffic is bad news here on long weekends, but to see really bad traffic you have to go to the big centres like Sydney and Melbourne.

A year ago my brother told me that the traffic on Pacific Highway running into Sydney had banked up for a little while.

He lives in Kariyong (spelling ???) in Gosford and from his back porch can just see the highway through the trees.  It is about 200 to 300 metres from his back fence.

Anyway, the report was that the trip from Gosford to Sydney was taking about 9 hours.  It is only about 100 kilometres.

So, as bad as it gets here, be thankful you aren't over east.

Cheers.

if we're all having a vent, i'd just like to give a big 'word up' to all the peanuts who regularly do 90-95kmh in 110 zones between perth and dunsborough. in a newish vehicle with no load, in broad daylight. these people regularly bank traffic up for ages and have a seeming inability to check rearview mirrors and/or make use of P stops etc to relieve traffic buildup. of course their worse cousin is that who will speed back up at every overtaking lane. pelican idiot freak mongrels. hate em.
seen too many desperate chances taken by otherwise regular drivers who have had a skinfull of these peoples over cautious driving.
speed kills, so it does, and i dont advocate speeding at all, but too much of anything (even caution) is still too much.
i would suggest there should be a driver education program for all townies who travel to the 'country' on rare occaisions. it should include handy tips on how to remember to turn off your high beams in the infrequent event of getting to use them on your annual holiday.

phwew, that's better. feel normal again now. till next time anyway.

Best one yet was some muppet doing 60 on caves road had 12 cars banked up and honking. Unfortunately, because most wa car drivers are all mouth and no trousers they weren't overtaking. I managed to get past the lot in a couple of goes =)

Well, I think I'll be busy on tuesday and for some time. I came up from Albany to Barker after a lattish finish last night and WAP had a 'booze station' set up the full lenth of the overtaking lane section closest to Albany. It was a big operation with what appeared to  EVERYONE being stopped. I was in court uniform, but still got RBT'ed (as it should be of course). So I'm sure it'll be busy in the local courts for some time.

I'm amazed at how many people drive without their lights on, or the idiots that insist they have their 'fog' (spot) lights on, errrrrrrr why? . Then there's all the grey/silver cars that drive at dusk (low light) without any lights on and are virtually invisible.

And yes, everybody was flying down, right up each other's clacker, overatking in risky situations because they (it would seem) have to be in front of the car in front of them. 

And that's before everyone gets to the Albany roundabouts.

Just what does it take to get the message across?

The Mount Barker town siren has just been activated. I fear that could be, yet another, serious (even fatal) crash on Albany Highway.

Idiot driving=inevitability.

Its not just the roads sociaty is really on the way down. Go to the shops and have a look at people walking around no one smiles or says hi .I have days when I go out of my way to say hi to all I make eye contact with .Most times they will say hi in return .I think the presures sociaty put on folks young and old has made a lot of sad people.As said people are in to much of a rush to go out of there way ,or are just to selfish and rapped up in there own little life to give a shit.

your spot on with that one Paul

one problem with saying hi or smiling to people these days they are probably wondering wtf

as a delivery driver i see a lot of people in and around shops and everyone seems to be in too much of a hurry to even acknowlege that anyone has even crossed their path

being nice to strangers has gone by the way side in most caces these days

Dreamy, hope its nothing serious with that siren

Agree Paul, its the best thing about living in a small town.  The g'day mate to someone you don't know still lives on.

So true,but you still get the ignorant one who looks straight through you instead of replying like you are trying to steal a smile from them.

Back to the traffic over Easter
Went down to the servo on the T junction to fuel up yesterday morning and nearly every driver coming in looked as if they had knocked off work,hopped in the car and driven all night to get here.Their eyeballs hanging out refuelling ready to drive on again to Ripoff Bay or Exmouth and they wonder why people fall asleep and wipe themselves and usually someone else off.But unfortunately there is no test for tiredness or stupidity

There was a guy on the freeway yesterday in a black Range Rover.  I was on the speed limit, (cruise control), he overtook me, cut in so tightly there was no way I could see beyond him.  Once he had done that, he slowed down so that I had to brake, drop back, pull out, over take him and then resume travelling on the speed limit!  What was the point of it?

Might sound gay but thanks for making the world a better place. There are alot of people who could learn from you!! Thankyou.

Moved back to perth at start of april from melbourne, drove home in "peak hour" perth traffic and saw maybe 15 cars at a set of lights..... in melbourne where i've been for 9 years.... it takes about 1 1/2 hours (morning and night peak hour) to get from city or oakleigh.. about 20km's. Praise the lord for automatic transmission

It's all good when your the big dude!!

Just got back from 10 days in Albany.

The traffic Friday heading down was crazy,everyone was in a hurry,lots of been overtaken on blind hills/bends at unbelievable speeds.

Almost had the pleasure of rear ending a car load of teenagers on the last overtaking lane before Albany.I was doing my legal 100ks (towing my heavy off-road trailer,fully loaded) They overtook doing 120ks+ then proceeded to pull in front hit the brakes hard to turn left.I had the pedal down hard,the ABS was doing its stuff the electric trailer brakes even locked up.They had passed 3 or 4 vehicles behind me.

As Vander said,4x4s dont pull up quick,almost conidered knicking him with the bullbar just to watch him spin like a top.

Great to see so many coppers on the road,8 vehicles between Williams and Kojonup.

Home safe,not too many fish!!!
