    what a wank. I voted no on the web poll. It shows that the public who read that article (nearly 92%) also voted no.

    I wonder where they got their data from.

    Just unbelievable. Really. This countries road rules are truly becoming an utter joke!

    Here's the full report. It's just a study - no need to panic. The media is what's woeful!

    It's actually an interesting report to read.

    The problem with driver fatigue is that speed limitss are TOO SLOW. Meaning people fall asleep. Even country police support INCREASING speed limits as you need to pay more attention to what you're doing. But along with EVERYTHING driving related in Australia, it relies on a much better driver education system. Proper driver education and driver attitude assesments BEFORE letting anyone behind the wheel. THAT'S what needs to change first.
