Something caravanning to focus on perhaps
Permalink  

Gday...

This hopefully may take everyone's mind off dogs, smoking, garlic, hamburgers, hotdogs, sad humour etc .... focus on a foolish 21-year-old P-plater.

Big van - ute - always gonna be a disaster I guess.

[edit: added photo showing how the Holden Rodeo and van ended up there]

Cheers - John

Perhaps the van may have been too big for the Rodeo.

It was a big tri-axle job. Didn't know that P-platers could tow trailers in Victoria. And definitely looked over large for the tug.

Gday...

I think "The driver is assisting police with their inquiries and the investigation is ongoing." is Police-speak for "nabbed ya sunshine".

How did it get up there? Must have had plenty of momentum?

He just thought he would take a short cut to the cross road.

Considering that that is the same off ramp I use..

From where they say he's from Dandenong North..
I would say that he was[ - NOT NOW - ] heading down to the beach for new Year's..

My guess.. would be a Micro Sleep.. it was 6:40am when/there about for this accident happened..



See this is Why you Don't get on the Road Before 8:00 if you Can help it... Shekon you were right....

Mmm anyone know of a Caravan Wrecker..


Juergen..

As I say.. A micro Sleep..

I went for a drive today and returned via the Link..

Where he went of the road is a Slight Bend..
- I think he micro sleeped.. Locked the hand straight ahead..
- Went off the road into the shallow swale beside the road and Keep on going and I would say @ 90+Km/h he went up the slope Real quick and was lucky that he did not pile into the side of the Bridge..
- Only the fact that the soil near the bridge is not compact is why he did not slam into the bridge..

That my thought's..
