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 :)

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?

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
