Doesn't one country have card board type cutouts on the side of the road to remember those lost due to motor vehicle accidents in the actual spots? full life sized and kids sized cutouts?

That would be kinda creepy. You're driving in the middle of the night on a deserted rural road and then suddenly you see this group of shiny people next to you. Would probably freak the shit out of me and cause an accident. But then again, I've watched too many zombie movies...

yes, how is it more distracting then

WANT LONGER LASTING SEX written is size 400 font.

you gotta have a need for longer lasting sex for that sign to be a distration.

just sayin.

:thumbsup:

i think some people really need to exercise some common sense on both sides of the coin. I think its fine to put a memorial up as long as the people putting up flowers etc. dont do so covering vital signage however people need to take responsibility for their own actions - there are SO many more distractions when driving compared to a memorial that you may/may not see such as radios in cars, signs, billboards etc... if you ban memorials, where do you stop?

people need to stop turning Victoria in to a nanny state, harden up and exercise some common sense and take some responsibility!

I almost ran up the back of a car looking at a Jenifer Hawkins billboard once hehehe! It's no different to billboards on the Tulla freeway though I often wonder how the expect drivers to look at them when they should be looking at the road doing 100k's an hour....go figure. I think as long as they don't block line of sight or signs or there isn't a bunch of cars pulled over etc it's ok.

It's a bit like those TAC signs on the side of the Freeways that say "don't take your eyes off the road" and "feeling tired?" etc.

Well after reading that sign, I kind of do. YAWN.

I want longer lasting sex...my girl can't keep up :)

I often wonder how the expect drivers to look at them when they should be looking at the road doing 100k's an hour.

peak hour traffic, when it moves at about... well I could get out and walk faster.

I so no its just litter and like we need any more of that on the side of the roads. We do have cemeteries and pretty much most of the time when your dead thats where you end up, so thats where they should go to pay respect to lost mates/loved ones. Standing on the side of the road with slack jawed yokels cruising past doesnt seem like its the most respectful way to remember someone.

i dont find them distracting, should we make it illegal for a bikini clad woman to walk down the street for the same reasons?

however, is it a bit strange that people choose the location of someones demise to remember them?

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
