I'm mad as hell.

Took well over an hour to get to work this morning.

Had to double back from just past woden turnoff to tuggers and come in via Woden to the city.

I hate to be callous but it had better have been good ones (many multiple fatality's).

Not just drivers too stupid to get there damaged cars off the road and gawkers. FFS

Yeah as I said. Im angry as. Shoot me !

Anyone know really WTF happend ?

It's canberran incompetent road (90%) of users that would have caused the issue... But built up with the roadworks on parks way would not have helped. Nearly better to go Adelaide ave to get to the city

I'm with you on this Richard - as much as I don't want people to get hurt, for the way other drivers react it had better be worth it lol. I've seen a guy pulled over on the side of the road on the Monaro one time just south of Fyshwick. He was doing the right thing by getting ENTIRELY off the road so he could answer a phone call. There was nothing wrong with his car, he wouldn't have even caused a disturbance while he pulled over....yet somehow we have 2 lanes of near-standstill traffic for well over 500m behind him, which miraculously vanish and return to the speed limit the moment you passed the dude...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???? f**king incompetent rubber-necking dickheads, that's why!

How much brain damage can you take before you become as brain dead as the average ACT driver?

Lobotomy time. I swear ive seen them drooling as they stare straight ahead clenching the wheel.

They need automatic driving cars or something.

Good point lol....I had a stroke when I was 17 and as a result have permanent brain damage leaving me with an irreparable blind spot in my vision....and I still manage to do better than 99% of the zombies on our roads lol. That's saying something!

My boss was directly behind the second guy that was hit.

First one (closer to hindmarsh) was just dumb arses in the right hand lane.


The second one was a scooter rider vs car. My boss was directly behind the bike/scooter overtaking in the right hand lane. In the left lane, there was a bank of car stuck behind one of those slow moving diggers. As the scooter guy was overtaking, the lady in the left hand lane abruptly changed lane into the bike and pushed him into the concrete barrier. Some how the car didn't notice straight away and kept driving for a little bit, mean while the scooter guy is bouncing around between his bike and the barrier.

By the time I went past, he was on the ground not looking well.

Ahh one of my biggest gripes WHY THE f**k do those diggers drive in peak hour traffic?!?! At about 20km/h!!!!

I used to see it all the time on the Monaro Hwy in the morning... utter chaos!!!

Yet having atmos BOVs or a boost controller is a safety hazzard. The government is just sitting there going Trololololololololololol hahahaha.....

Scooter, moped, pushbikes + children - stay off the roads...

or

Get licensed, registered and travel the speed of the traffic (+10kmph)

Edit: Oh and drivers be motorcycle aware

Read - NO SYMPATHY

A few more of these might reduce the increasing numbers of "above" smaktards !

Seems one was an 8 car pile up.

The other one (as has been said) was a car and a bike. Male on the bike had minor injuries. Good to hear :)

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
