Tree

^What's the retail on one of those?

But yeh I wouldn't mind making some youtube vids on driving techniques/tips though I can't imagine it getting a lot of hits, or enough to grant revenue :P

^More than you can afford pal, Ferrari Vroom Vroom..... haha
 
I'm thinking a video like the drift bible would be good lol. But for slower precise driving.

Accident blackspot (Wikipedia)
An accident blackspot is a term used in road safety management to denote a place where road traffic accidents have historically been concentrated. It may have occurred for a variety of reasons, such as a sharp drop or corner in a straight road, so oncoming traffic is concealed, a hidden junction on a fast road, poor or concealed warning signs at a cross-roads.
For some decades treatment of accident blackspots (e.g. by signage, speed restrictions, improving sightlines, straightening bends, or speed cameras) was a mainstay of road safety policy, but current thinking has it that the benefits of these interventions are often overstated. Effects such as regression to the mean[1], risk compensation[2] and accident migration combine to reduce the overall benefit.
In some cases it has been claimed that the end result is an increase in overall casualties. In one notable experiment, a number of accident blackspots were "treated" with a null treatment - placement of a garden gnome, according to some reports. Accident rates at these points were found to have decreased significantly in the following period, a finding which is taken as clear evidence supporting the theory of regression to the mean.

Honestly I have zero respect and care for what goes on in the mediocre world of child-like squabble that politicians "do" for a job and are consistently wanting payrises for because they feel it's necessary when your getting absolutely crapped on by the public for the doing exactly that. Downward spiral which will never end and unfortunately it's the people who actually take notice on the roads that suffer. I'm sick of the whole "setting up laws for the weakest link" agenda. How many people do you see driving at 110km/h with nothing more than a couple of fingers on the steering wheel, or on a mobile, or too busy playing with their hair while driving? Try doing that at 140 - that for me is instantly 2 hands on the wheel, music down, focus on everything in front of me. We need to be following European standards for just about everything relating to transport. I believe Sweden or somewhere like that have MANDATORY defensive driving classes/skidpan sessions before your even allowed to get your license. Very strict on these too. Don't pass - you don't drive. If you do pass, then your a whole lot better driver straight up that actually knows what to do in the event of a lockup or spin. Germany's autobahn - extremely famous for it's 0 limits within certain sections but if you break this, or stick in the left lane when your not supposed to - you get REAMED by the police and I'm sure KY isn't included with this violation. Yet they still manage to have fewer accidents on these sections of road than we do on 100km/h highways.
   
Roadworthy checks of cars should be made mandatory and annually when you renew your rego - not just when you sell a registered car like here in QLD. These rules vary state to state, as does the legality requirements of cars. Why is it different state to state? This is the same country correct? Run under the droopy, swollen eared wench that is Julia Gillard. She's only there by default and I can't wait for her to fall flat on her face. But more or less it's the state/local government's that need waking up and need to apply/raise funds or steal a % of this revenue being brought in by the police to fund driver training etc.
 
Lowering the speed will only reduce the speed of which a crash CAN occur. The underlying reasons are not being dealt with on the same scale that is being applied to revenue raising and this is absolute bull****.
 
But then again - it only takes a couple of statistics from ONE fixed, signed (3 signs to be exact) speed camera on the M1 up here in Bris near the city...to point out that the vast majority of drivers just aren't taking any bloody notice of what's going on around them. This one speed camera racks up close to $300k PER DAY in speeding fines across 3 lanes..... It's 100km/h for at least 20km leading up to this and maybe 3km after it...
 
Maybe all cars should just come out from the factory with a ****ed wheel alignment - might make people concentrate more.

Another typical scenario (adapted):
 
Gov statistician for M.A.C.: Our Roads are unsaaaaaaaafe! seeeee 13 people died on THESE roads in the last 20 years!!
 
 
Politician: That's IT, I'm lowering the speed limit to fix everything. Where's that map again?
 
 
Gov Statistician for M.A.C.: Yaaaaaaay, doesn't affect us because we're all city slickers and I feel like she's Done Something™.
Politician rubs her hands in glee at the votes she's bought by being Tough on Crime® and alienating a fraction of her voter base.
 
Meanwhile, no real safety improvements are made because this means punishing mature full licensed drivers who are all hoons and murderers and that isn't being Tough on Crime®, it's Revenue Raising©.
 

What freeways?? ...........we never got any because MATS was shelved in the 70s by Labour.
