This morning after leaving you a cpl posts (my family hug )australia I got in to my car & headed off to work motorcycle

Travelling down freeway just cuizing along dancing

Then BOOM!! BANG!! BOOMABANGO!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!! <----tyres

I headed for emergency lane uh oh He done same (nearly hitting me again doh

Cars trucks whatever behind us were dodging & weaving etc.... hole was sh*it flyin e/where looked like bloody formula 1 rolling on the floor laughing

Went round to back of ute to check damage crying was bout 5.20am & dark. I turned around to say to whoever it was WTF!!very mad very mad

Then wow wow wow rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing the farker looked like R2D2 from starwars, with coke bottle glasses on.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing bout 3ft tall.

He kept saying to me sorry,sorry,sorry i did'nt see you cool i sort of lost it then a bit and laughed inside rolling on the floor laughing (could'nt see me????) I was thinking & visualizing him while hitting me laugh He was 10ft higher than my car (give or take few feet)& wearing glasses that could prob see 200klms ahead rolling on the floor laughing I did'nt look at his drivers seat to see if he may have fallen off his cusions rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

As we were walking around cars, the munchkin stepped backwards onto the fwy & i had to pull his tiny butt back onto shoulder doh i should've pushed him mumbling coz if he got hit at 100klms an hour it would've taken me ages in the dark to find him to give his licence back :o

8.20am now & waiting for my insurance to ring me. He's not insured frustrated GO FIGURE!! dunno i rang boss to tell him im not coming in & have to spend all day getting quotes & stuff thumbs up yay

I hate 4wd's thumbs down thumbs down thumbs down specially when peeps driving them cant even touch the pedals doh

Lookin4missright: think he was a bit parched could'nt be sure nuts, but had to give him the benefit of doubt no good calling cops if he was just old & cold. Was born in 1946 (on lic).
if u got over a few grands worth of damage to ur ute they shouldve been involved especially as he hasnt got insurance, brave call mate cops shouldve been involved ,if just for peace of mind

4WDs are as safe as any other vehicle on the road. A New Zealand study looked at crashes over a 5 year period and found that, based on percentages of vehicles registered, they were involved in less crashes than cars. And the injury rate was much less.

Doesn't matter what vehicle it is, it is the nut behind the wheel that is dangerous. The bigger the vehicle (aka Toyotas and Nissans) the bigger the nut. The small SUVs usually have the attitude that they are driving a decent 4wd and don't realise how unsafe they can be.

Saying that, and I had 3 Toyota 4wd trying to push me on the way home when I was already 3km over the limit and passing much slower cars.

Usually on the 75km trip to work each day, it is women who keep overtaking me. And I find that Suburu drivers are the worst on the road. They have the 5-Star rating across the whole range and the drivers drive knowing they have the "safest car in the world" and this will stop them from crashing.

And on a note, most of those 4wd vehicles you see are really only All Wheel Drive and the only off-road capability they have is on well maintained dirt roads.

Final word: blame the driver, not the vehicle.
