24.01.2022 L and red P platers are set to be hit the hardest by new penalties for mobile phone use, but many say the changes are a good thing, and will save lives.

16.01.2022 So people this is now my car. Having broke down at the side of the road we followed advice and got out of the vehicle, behind the safety barriers whilst waiting... for recovery. If we had not have waited behind the barriers as advised at least 2 of us would now be dead, my babies were in the rear seats prior to this happening. An artic lorry crashed into us at speed sending the car 20m down the road because it appears, he wasn't paying enough attention to the road. ALWAYS GET OUT OF YOUR CAR TO A PLACE OF SAFETY IF YOUR CAR BREAKS DOWN ON A MOTORWAY/DUAL CARRIAGE WAY. X Carmel Williams #slowdownmoveover

14.01.2022 "Airbags deploy between 100 and 220 MPH. If you ride with your feet on the dash and you're involved in an accident, the airbag may send your knees through your ...eye sockets." This mom is using her horrific story to warn passengers about the danger of resting your feet on the dash: http://cbsn.ws/2vFVVcb

13.01.2022 Interesting Take on Electric Cars WORTH THE READ! ... I presume there are expert counter arguments against this criticism of electric cars? As an engineer, I love the electric vehicle technology. However, I have been troubled for a long time by the fact that the electrical energy to keep the batteries charged has to come from the grid and that means more power generation and a huge increase in the distribution infrastructure. Whether generated from coal, gas, oil, wind or sun, installed generation capacity is limited. A friend sent me the following that says it very well. You should all take a look at this short article. INTERESTING - ONE OTHER QUESTION: IF ELECTRIC CARS DO NOT USE GASOLINE, THEY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN PAYING A GASOLINE TAX ON EVERY GALLON THAT IS SOLD FOR AUTOMOBILES, WHICH WAS ENACTED SOME YEARS AGO TO HELP TO MAINTAIN OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES. THEY WILL USE THE ROADS, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR THEIR MAINTENANCE! In case you were thinking of buying a hybrid or an electric car: Ever since the advent of electric cars, the REAL cost per mile of those things has never been discussed. All you ever heard was the mpg in terms of gasoline, with nary a mention of the cost of electricity to run it . This is the first article I've ever seen and tells the story pretty much as I expected it to Electricity has to be one of the least efficient ways to power things yet they're being shoved down our throats. Glad somebody finally put engineering and math to paper. At a neighborhood BBQ, I was talking to a neighbor, a BC Hydro executive. I asked him how that renewable thing was doing. He laughed, then got serious. If you really intend to adopt electric vehicles, he pointed out, you had to face certain realities. For example, a home charging system for a Tesla requires 75 amp services. The average house is equipped with 100 amp service. On our small street (approximately 25 homes), the electrical infrastructure would be unable to carry more than three houses with a single Tesla, each. For even half the homes to have electric vehicles, the system would be wildly over-loaded. This is the elephant in the room with electric vehicles. Our residential infrastructure cannot bear the load. So as our genius elected officials promote this nonsense, not only are we being urged to buy these things and replace our reliable, cheap generating systems with expensive, new windmills and solar cells, but we will also have to renovate our entire delivery system! This latter "investment" will not be revealed until we're so far down this dead-end road that it will be presented with an 'OOPS...!' and a shrug. If you want to argue with a green person over cars that are eco-friendly, just read the following. Note: If you ARE a green person, read it anyway. It's enlightening. Eric test drove the Chevy Volt at the invitation of General Motors and he writes, "For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine ." Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the battery. So, the range including the 9-gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh batteries is approximately 270 miles. It will take you 4.5 hours to drive 270 miles at 60 mph. Then add 10 hours to charge the battery and you have a total trip time of 14.5 hours. In a typical road trip, your average speed (including charging time) would be 20 mph. According to General Motors, the Volt battery holds 16 kWh of electricity. It takes a full 10 hours to charge a drained battery. The cost for the electricity to charge the Volt is never mentioned , so I looked up what I pay for electricity. I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16 per kWh. 16 kWh x $1.16 per kWh = $18.56 to charge the battery . $18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles =$0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery. Compare this to a similar size car with a gasoline engine that gets only 32 mpg. $3.19 per gallon divided by 32 mpg = $0.10 per mile . The gasoline-powered car costs about $20,000 while the Volt costs $46,000-plus. So the American Government wants loyal Americans not to do the math, but simply pay three times as much for a car, that costs more than seven times as much to run, and takes three times longer to drive across the country.

13.01.2022 #platefail When displaying your P plate do not obscure your number plate. We tried O, C and Q with no success. When we stopped him it discovered the elusive l...etter was G. Both front and rear were similarly obscured. Driving with an obscured number plate carries a fixed penalty of $448 and 3 demerit points. See more

06.01.2022 MAKING L& P PLATERS BETTER DRIVERS The statistics are damning. Learner drivers are the safest drivers on our roads while the reverse applies to those holding re...d and green P plate licences. The reason is simple - supervision as an L plater and going solo on your Ps. The Rotary Clubs in the Manning and Great Lakes, united some years ago to address this serious problem and have put their money where their mouths are. They run regular courses for year 11 students from local high schools who are about to get or have just got their licences. Local organiser Laurie Easter tells me some 7000 students have passed through the program. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite from Rotary to observe one of these courses. Running from 9.30am until 2pm the course contains six sessions. Speed & Stopping (practical demonstrations), Drive SOS, Road Choices, Crash Investigators, the I in Drive and Genevieve’s Story. Presenters include driving instructors, police and local Rotarians The Road Choices, Crash Investigators sections are especially moving and can be quite confronting. Serious car accident victim Tod and his mother Sue speak of the trauma both physical and mental that followed Tod’s near fatal accident. This, or similar courses should be mandatory for all new drivers. It would certainly also be worthwhile for those of us who have held licences for many years. Well done Rotary.

02.01.2022 From today - 17 September, if you’re caught using your phone illegally while driving you’ll cop 5 demerit points. If you are involved in a collision, your phone... can be seized and examined by police , who can determine whether you were using your phone at the time of collision. For L and P1 licence holders, that’s your licence gone! It’s not worth the risk. Find out more at www.mobilephoneroadrules.com.au
