OK who is with me on this one? In my opinion, the Government should make it compulsary for all new drivers to go through a Defensive Driving Course suplimented by the government prior to moving to the next stage of their licence process. With luck this should eliminate some stupid accidents occuring on our roads as of late.

Yes It did it was on Gorge Road near Athelstone, a suburb of Adelaide less than 2 minutes drive where the paramedic lives, That section of road is narrow, windy that the tree trunks are very close to the road edge. It happened prior to 1982. Why do motor bikes tend to not ride where motor oil may have dripped on the road???.
I witnessed a Police Officer ride on a slippery patch of road and almost fall off. The white paint on the road is slippery when wet - unless they have used their brains and are now using a different type.
IPullman -Do NOT accuse me of lying. That is an insult. What are you? A Police Officer who investigates accidents every day. Have you rescued people who have crashed into crash barriers or huge trees? I know a very recovery team driver who has done just that. He also has a First Aid Certificate and has administered treatment while waiting for an Ambulance to arrive. On another occcasion he went to the aid of a driver who ran off the road on Port Wakefiled Road near Two Wells north of Adelaide CBD.
