61% of Australians don’t realise that our Navy will have no meaningful impact.

Would be better of banning exports of coal and iron ore to China, but that would hurt the megga proffits of our mining magnates and we can’t have that.

Well with so many people living in their cars I reckon a family of four would sleep comfortably.

Unfortunately they seem to be mainly owned by arrogant wankers.

I didn’t think I needed a relationship to join a conversation.

Actually looks more like “Get in mah belly” Yummo.

Perhaps they are just talking to pedestrians and cyclists that are in a world of their own? Not everything to do with the copers has to do with fines.

The number of pedestrians I see crossing roads with their heads glued to their phones, cyclists at night with no lights or cruising through red lights, groups riding 4 abreast on narrow, winding and hilly 100kmh roads (just a few examples) is astonishing.

Like it or not vehicles will always exist and it is up to everyone to play their part in not being a danger to anyone else or themselves.

Yes there are a lot of reckless, careless, distracted or entitled drivers but there are also pedestrians and cyclists that fit squarely in one or more of those categories.

I say this as someone who has been severely injured on my bicycle as the result of a hit and run, but also continues to ride. I also ride motorcycles and drive over 1000km per week for work for over 40 years, avoiding idiots multiple times a day, be they driving, walking or riding.

Perhaps we all need to be more spatially aware, courteous and in less of a hurry with more sense of self preservation, regardless of our mode of transport.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. ✌️

Ah, power, the great corrupter.
