    Also, it didn't take into account how many more people, total and percentage, ride motorbikes/scooters either.

    Also remember that they count pedestrians in the road toll and they have been getting worse from memory I think ?

    I asked the same question about the transfers and they didn't really have a great response it will only flag once there is an active stolen report on the system. Plus it would interfere with them collecting money from ripping us all blind. They virtually print money. They tried to even charge me to get the car back in my name because Technically I didn't own the car as it was under another name even though the documents were stolen. Had to pay the admin fee of about $35 and they reluctantly waived all other fees and charges

    Yep. It is incredible how often you have to be ready to hit the brakes because some lunatic wearing headphones and looking at a screen will just wander out in front of you.

    As soon as a mainstream car maker releases a genuinely good everyday EV Tesla will be toast.

    And an increasing proportion of them are tourists / overseas students who are not used to driving long distances (fatigue) on open roads, eg this recent accident near Canberra.

    The price will be interesting...I can't see it being priced sensibly in the short term.
