    some people are just wired differently

    same applies to young female drivers (actually young old male and female!) with both hands and eyes on the phone while travelling at 50, 60, 70 kmh. and also at traffic lights. i see that a lot while commuting on the bus.

    anyway it is only 3 demerit points and $353 penalty...

    was up there yesterday - speed limit has been reduced to 70 for most of the way, there is only one small section at 80 now.

    when QR raceway runs bikes event, they fit cushions on the barriers on top of the compulsory medic onsite.

    all bikes run in one direction with no cars.

    on the mountains, the trees are not that soft...

    and it is 2 ways with plenty of blind spots.

    Went for a cruise up Mt Nebo today and the road was quiet as. This was in our local paper this week. No wonder....

    There was a fatal accident on Mt Nebo over the weekend.

    Wet weather, speed and a terribly maintained piece of road is not a good mix.

    We are just lucky that the local VW group have Happy Laps as a way to get our speed fix instead of the public roads.

    Night time up there is full of nocturnal wildlife. Add slippery wet roads its a recipe for disaster. So unfortunate that someone lost their loved one to a midnight fang on the hill.
