Accident X2? - Tuggers Expressway This Morn

[Sinista32]

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 ?

[Humpty Dumpty]

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

[Anfanee]

You have got to remember. In canberra as soon as there is an accident everyone has to go .5 km/h so they can have a look what happened.

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.

It's that kind of shit that makes me cringe when i ride a bike.

[Trozzle]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck that. Bitch better get slapped HARD by the law. That's serious negligence.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Sort of makes Canberra a safe place......... when the zombie apocolypse comes, nothing will change here.

[Trozzle]

bahahahaha^^^^ f**king gold. Absolute gold.

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 !

[Shell]

Can't scooters only do 80km/h pretty much? I wouldn't be tempting fate on a 100km/h parkway...

[Shell]

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

Shell, that's old school thinking.

Traveling back from PI 200km/h+ only one of us that got booked for speeding was the scooter. 140 in 100 zone.

[Shell]

Oh ok, they must be better now. My sister had one that she rode to work on years ago and I remember her saying how glad she was that Athlon Drive was only 80km/h cos that's as fast as it went lol

Canberra drivers have traffic jams for the fun of it, what happened to the scooter dosent surprise me, Iv been riding daily for the last 3 years and u would not believe what I have seen, there's nothing more dangerous than a Canberra public servant running 5mins late on a Monday morning
