RIP. Too true, Advice for everyone get RACV road side assistance, I once blew a tyre on a major highway just off the west bridge I think it was, I didnt chance it, didnt even get out of the car to check the tyre, called RACV to get a tow to get off the main traffic road and changed the tyre in a car park. The tow, the taxi (had 2 other passangers), all covered by RACV - best money I ever spent. My deepest sympathy to the family of the victim, may he rest in peace, Daz

Quote: Originally Posted by MARMO. i agree there,in my old job i used to be be in contact with alot of interstate truckies, and they would always offer gear as a trade for stuff. thats fair enough but there are a lot of car drivers on it too. take for instance the drug buses stint at kempsey 3 weeks ago. they caught 4 truck drivers and 17 car drivers including the pizza delivery boy lol. (good job if you get the munchies)

(good job if you get the munchies) as a general rule of thumb there would be more cars then trucks on the road? do you have figues of how many cars and tucks were tested, i think you would find in a percentege of truck drivers with ampthetamines in there system would be alot higher then the car drivers? and im not condoning the car drivers, but the truck drivers are doing it on a day in day out basis.

poor kid, R.I.P
