After taking on the mighty bong industry, Colin (Asleep before he even got to the wheel) Barnett and Rob (Starka) Johnson will turn their attention to trucks. Thanks to Cimbali for this picture. No doubt Labor will also blindly support this truck arresting policy.

This is a step in the right direction. It literally screams vibrancy.
You WAnkers shouldn’t sit around and snigger.
Perhaps we need more of this kind of thing.

of poor sods trying to exrtact their car from it. It looked like they’d just gone in there for fun but the car sunk to its axles, however they got far enough in that their mates car with the tow rope couldn’t get close enough to pull it out.
I can only assume their car too slowly submerged and that’s why it’s no longer visible.

The reason I originally took the photo was because someone decided to build their house in the small triangle of land between the arrester bed and the highway which means they can send the kids out into the back yard to play in the gravel, dodging the out of control juggernauts or onto the highway out the front to throw stones at the in control juggernauts!

True story: My missus-at-the-time lived in Greenmount, and her dad and his bro’ were waiting at the traffic lights when it hapened.
The truck clipped the car behind them and summersaulted and killed the poor chick in the car one or two in front of them.
She said they came back home, shaking like leaves, and proceded to get shitfaced drunk on Polish vodka.

The song was recorded by one of the announcers Trevor Carleson and was a parod y of Day Trip to Bangor, and funds raised were donated to Telethon – Shaving Cream was on the flip side.

The accident happened in 1992. The ‘chick’ that died was one of my brothers closest friends as she was in his year at high school. She was out delivering her 21st birthday invitations [to be held 3 wks later] with her older sister who was a friend of mine.
Her older sister almost died, in hospital a VERY long time and being the only children of their parents it was awful to think they could lose both their children. Luckily, she made it and has her own children now.
It was a tragic accident.
