Good on you for being there. Its quite upsetting coming across that. Lucky people to have you there at that moment.

Sad but true - someone has to be there for these people, they are lucky it was you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for being there mate, I hope the lucky survivors appreciated your help and assistance. They all could so easily have been statistics...and spoilt YOUR Christmas further.

Cheers,

As a towie in a past life I know where you are coming from Richo, we are often considered 'vultures' etc but people are very happy to see us when they are broken down in the heat or they are stuck in traffic on a freeway and we arrive to clean up the mess.

I find it strange though that any towie is allowed to take a driver to the police station for a breath test following a crash. There is no 'continuity' if that happens and there is no way any DUI charge would hold up in court as the driver would say he was sober at the time of the crash but had a swig of whisky or such on the way and no-one could prove otherwise.

Thankfully I no longer have to deal with the carnage on the road which is always worse at this time of year.

Merry Christmas & happy New Year

coming back from sydney to nowra christmas night along the old hume, id site on 110ks as per the speed limit,
every one went flying past me, including p platers...

I think there should be more visiable police cars around, its just so easy to have an accedent
only takes a second to loose concentration...

drive safe every one

The cops are out in force today here in Echuca. They are pulling everyone over into a service road in what they call a random breath testing. So everyone going to Chemist Warehouse or the camping shop, which is where I was going, got breath tested.
Hopefully it will put a few idiots off the road. I'm still driving by the way.

One of th reasons I enjoy being a firefighter .

Yesterday , still recovering from 'chrissy' & those accidents .

Got a call from 'th Captain' , get down here to -- -- place as

quick as you can , their house is on fire . Got in th cruiser , low

flying , as I got to th turn off , I could see their was not much smoke

from th house , but th fire-station was open , I wheeled up , got th

big truck going & raced down to th house . Got th hoses ready , as

Capt came out of house with mt extinguisher , got my 2 ext's &

joined him in kitchen to finish putting out fire .

The relief on 'our friends' face was thanks enough . Was she grateful

to see 'that big red truck' turn up .

Again please Drive Carefully & watch th Fires . I just read about th

Culburra incident , th road & fire don't care who you are , you play

with it , you pay . It just moves on .

Richo.

Geez Richo, you could write a book! And still nobody would take notice, they all seem to have the "it wont happen to me" syndrome.
Well we are taking notice, took notice of the P plater who passed us today doing over 110, and the police car who came shortly afterwards. Passed them both later, an accident prevented for now. Lots and lots of traffic out there today on the Monaro highway, you'd think it was a racetrack.
