Probably another tourist who doesn't know how to drive on our roads. Maybe we need more warning signs for the idiots.
Sh1 is a nightmare at the best of times. Always some impatient numpty overtaking where they shouldn't. RIP to the one who died, but seriously, when will people learn?
not the time for arguing. A family lost someone tonight. Have some respect.
Worked on that road for years. The amount of close calls I've seen is insane. This is tragic but not surprising. Hope they look into road safety improvements.
say that when your family member gets hit by someone doing 140 in a 100 zone. grow up.
Thoughts with the families. ❤️ Such a sad reminder to take care on the roads, especially at night.

yeah nah, speed's always the issue. Same song different verse. RIP to the victim, but the driver who caused it should be banned for life.
100% mate. Ban 'em and make 'em resit the test.
facts. but we'll still hear the usual sob story about how it was 'just a mistake'. nah, driving recklessly is a choice.
hate seeing these headlines. feel for everyone involved, especially the family of the one who didn't make it. stay safe out there everyone.
that stretch near Hunterville is notorious. practically black ice every winter morning. maybe a bit more maintenance wouldn't hurt?
here we go, blaming the road instead of the driver. Classic.
More roadworks and less speed might save lives, but nah let's just put up another camera and collect fines. Smh.
cameras are a revenue grab, not safety. Try actually policing dangerous driving instead.
