Well he should have wiped off 5, then add 44 so he should have wiped off 49 actually.

He lost his licence, he has a fine from the police as well as the club. His punishment fits the crime.

Boys in fast cars = speed.

Lucky Yobbo.

Speed does not kill. It's the sudden stop.

Driver improvement courses should be mandatory by all drivers.

Show them people at the Alfred and the Austin, those two are TAC hospitals and would have more serious cases. The Epworth is a private hospital. As far as I know TAC don’t cover costs at the Epworth if you wish to go there.

To single out Cameron, when most other drivers on our roads have no idea is ridiculous. It should be driver education for all.

At the moment we are all being desensitised to the horror of road crashes by the TAC.

People just switch off, you can’t reprogram the mind if it shuts down.

Yep if you've been in a prang and you're going to the Alfred you (and everyone else there) knows you're fkd!

Not sure about the Austin tho, I've never really heard of anyone going there after a prang, I thought that was more cancer related, I could be wrong tho. But the majority of the ones i know about go to the Alfred.

The Alfred is the #1 TAC hospital. I have visited many a friend in there.

Dead set the beat up over Clokey speeding is simply just over kill.

Two players get charged with Rape and it gets swept under the carpet real quick.

Yep the charges were not laid due to lack of evidence, blah blah blah.

Many invloved in the legal fraternity know the real reason this happened.

Cloke drove fast, got caught lost his licence. End of story.

Who needs big brother etc for reality TV, just follow *ucking AFL football.

A few Ks over is a completely different kettle of fish to 44ks over.

Can't you see the difference?

144 k is not particularly dangerous in a good car on a huge freeway- that's only 85 mph, big deal. I remember my dad used to always cruise at 85mpg on country roads before they had speed limits. Miraculously we all survived.
You are all a bunch of brainwashed goody-goodies, what is the world coming to?
The only stupid thing about it was getting caught.

No, bokka, it's 90 mph.

If it's not particularly dangerous how is it miraculous you all survived ??

YOu are a genius, magfan, haven't you heard of irony?
Also have you heard of "doing the ton"? Used to be very common and not considered a terrible crime or immorality, when Australia used to be a country of free thinkers not brainwashed by the media.

bokka - agreed, everybody is just a brainwashed Nazi these days.
I long for the good old days when everybody had a free opinion.

YOu want to know what speeding is.. I was a passenger on an autobarn in Germany a couple of years ago, doing 210 kph - man that felt fast and was a bit scary. Volvo convertible would you believe, has quite an effect on one's hairdo.

MMF agreed - not sure about nazis, more like bleating sheep - in fashionable wolves clothes of course.

Irony, Bokka ? Sounded like a miscalculation to me.

Can we get back to the topic ?

You two wanna chat off topic ? Do it via PMs.

It is still more than 40k faster than all the other traffic - not exactly your quiet country road.

Also, I hope your dad wasn't a 19yo P Plater (inexperienced driver) when he was doing that speed with his whole family in the car.

No, it was typically Melbourne-Adelaide or Melb-Sydney highways on school holidays, fairly to very crowded roads, one lane each direction, curves as tight as hairpin with advisory speed signs. Obviously you slow down if getting close to other cars, and there's no reason to doubt Cloke would have also been keeping clear of other cars, which is fairly easy on a huge multilaned freeway.

Obviously he wasn't - and your point is?
