Yikes. Thankfully no-one died. I think everyone was travelling so close to each other they sort of had a mass crumple zone effect which saved all the occupants lol.

When we were on our European trip, our tour guide told me since EU is established and ppl move freely within the EU, most accidents happened on the motorway was cos some poor old bugger from the less advantaged part of the EU was driving his rattling old Lada in the left/fast lane (they drive on the other side of the road than here) and get rammed up from behind by those Porsche/Audis/BMWs/Mercs...

our bus was always on the 1st (right) or middle lanes doing around 130km/h, and often we have cars thundering by on our left at 160km/h, with occasionally super ones like the RS4 or Porsche goes ballistic probably over 250km/h no worries.

apparently the Bracks government might use this example to enforce another thousand of speed cameras in Victoria.

Brumby/Bracks, different spelling same asshole.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

same administration really... they are both as obsessed as each other in making money from driving/parking infringements....

i wouldn't even mind if they'd just admit that its blatant revenue raising.... its the assumption that we are all too stupid to work it out that gets me!

That is a massive number of cars, but no-one seriously injured. Some of the cars looked like they'd taken a big hit too. Was it due to well engineered, safe cars, well designed safety features on the roads itself or just pure luck?

The tow truck drivers of the area would be pretty happy and smash repair places too. Insurance companies on the other hand...

I fly into Germany today - will see if I can't cause a bigger one.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]
