No one wants to have a collision with another vehicle, yet still people continue to make mistakes while driving and this can lead to a crash. It’s not until there is an incident that we realise the full cost of having a crash. We all take out insurance to cover such events as we know […]
What a pessimistic headline that is, don’t you think? Well, it’s not something we wish to happen but sadly given the state of the driving environment we find ourselves in, it is the sad truth. Despite Government campaigns and seminar after seminar on road safety, the road toll is rising, last year it rose by […]
SafeWork NSW is a body that has been in place since the 1st of September 2015, replacing the long standing Workcover NSW. Since then, it has been working hard to bring safety into the workplace by persuading employers to comply with the Work Health and Safety ACT that was launched on January the 1st 2012. […]
Growing up in the 70's and 80's I was part of a generation that valued the great Aussie Road trip tradition. My parents had a caravan and we would often go exploring as far afield as possible. I remember pulling up alongside the road for my dad to take a shot at some rabbits with […]

We have been immersed in everything COVID19 now for around two years. At first, we didn’t know a lot about the virus and what it does to humans, but now with millions of people suffering around the world, we have a better picture. One of the commonly reported side effects from the virus and indeed […]
Having been a motor mechanic for 32 years now, I have seen many people modify vehicles and of course, I have done my fair share too. Back when I was younger modifying vehicles were a lot simpler, there was much less regulation and so long as the vehicle presented as being safe no one really […]
This is one of the touchiest subjects that there has ever been, I am going to try to approach it with balance and zero emotion. Because it seems every time this subject comes up, it evokes emotional responses from both camps. Motorists feel cyclists get a free ride (pardon the pun) and cyclists feeling like […]
Most experienced drivers learned to drive on an older vehicle, one that didn’t have the modern technology that we have today. Over time these technologies have been slowly introduced to the vehicles we drive, but have we adapted to the technology with effective education? Even commercial vehicles that have become so popular in Australia […]
