[W126 Coupe] 300SE meets Sucky Utility Vehicle (SUV)

[Divov]

Hi Mark,
You live in a country with the most courteous and law abiding motorists I have ever come across.
Your low road death tolls are a testimony to Aussie driving. Patient and non-aggressive
I have driven in the USA and Europe and nowhere comes anywhere near Australia.
I live in Africa and driving here is a total joke...the wild west has nothing on us!
Our average daily road death toll exceeds your total festive season death toll

Regards
Alec

  Hi Dick,

  Sorry to hear about any MB damage, especially when you were stationary!

  In Australia snowploughs are rare but SUV's are still in great numbers.

  We are more inclined to have the Mitsubishi Pajero or the Toyota Prado - but I think it is like Gym memberships. we buy them with the intension of using them!

  Then after a couple of years you get over it.

  For our mine site work they fit the need well, especially when the Australian outback gets rain - in the burbs. no.

   

  Driving safety will always be an issue, driver distraction being a major factor. It is illegal to use mobile/cell phones here when driving, but too much signage and summer skirts also create issues.

  Awareness training for new drivers and TV reminders has to be part way to the answer.  

  Take care guys.
