On Thursday 25 March 2010, those of us living in Melbourne may very well remember the somewhat horrific crash at St. Kilda junction between a motorbike an a motor car. A terrifying scene on all accounts and one that I happened to be driving past - on my way to the Grand Prix - enough to see the damage that people, regardless of their intentions or capabilities are able to cause.
My rough understanding of the incident is that a man in his 50s (name omitted) was involved in a fatal collision with a car and its driver (names omitted). The details, I will leave you to analyse yourselves.
As unfortunate as these accidents are, and as often as they seem to happen, regardless of Victoria and Australia's increasingly tightening road and traffic safety laws, they still conjure two or three main thoughts in my mind: 1) how unfortunate - both for the victim and their families and friends, and 2) how stupid - on account of all parties involved, and 3) why? or how?
