    Ah, back when TAC ads were serious, before pansy parents started complaining about how violent the ads were. This is reality, people, deal with it.

    The scariest part about being in an accident in rural Australia is knowing you could be pinned upside down next to your mate whose dead for hours before someone finds you, that thought alone is enough to make sure that I never drive over the limit or fatigued and keep speeding reasonable (speeding is treated different in New Zealand)

    @@pauljordan4452 nope, the message crashes thru your living room right where the TV is Funny the power of hindsight, I’ve actually had to use both airbags in my old tiida since I wrote that comment, I’m so glad everything happens for a reason coz I could’ve so easily Been in a ute weighing twice as much, no airbags and drum brakes, I’m certain I’d be dead now as it was a T bone on the highway I was doing about 95 ish as had a truck infront, I feel guilty because the at fault old lady had a broken wrist and all I had was constant shaking and an awkward drive back home in the front seat of a cop car coz my phone decided to cook itself right after For reference it was a 2009 Tiida (12/14 import) I was in and they were in a 2018 Kona, both cars were total loss… so IMO jap imports are safer because it makes the car fleet newer across the board, on paper it’s older than Australia, but that’s because there 11 cars per 10 people not 7 per 10 like Aus What makes me feel even worse is I had no insurance, they were so humble, their insurance company wasent terribly helpful but in the end I got paid 3k which is more than I could’ve sold it for easily and it gave me an excuse to buy another Waka

    There's no real incentive to stop road deaths in the USA, though. Here in Australia, the government coughs up a lot of money for every road death or injury. The biggest expense is medical (which the government has to pay for). Therefore, it's in the government's own interest to reduce this toll. In the USA, where medicine is for profit, it's actually a *good* thing to have more road injuries, because it keeps the hospitals and doctors in business.

    CheesyTV no, in Victoria we pay for it with the TAC charge on our rego. When I was in America, vehicle registration was much cheaper, but insurance was more expensive as thats how you are covered for road accident injuries there. The TAC is a government insurer but drivers still pay

    @@reecewithoutherspoon1324 Not so sure, it all depends on the incoming vehicle speed. It's all about resistance and force, angle of hit and so on. I read a report on it a few years back and surprisingly depending on model a higher speed vehicle sustained less damage on the driver due to higher speed. Apparently it forced the other car to surrender sooner providing less resistance and so on. This is nothing I would test out myself mind you!

    @@AnarchoHumanism Yeah ofc, there are many things to take into account. I also agree with what you read on that point, but at the same time, that would require one vehicle to be driving fast. If that vehicle is driving 140 kph, as you said, the slower person is more at risk, sure. But if the faster car is going 80kph I'd say most of the time it would end a lot better. But yeah, median strips would be great, then it wouldn't matter nearly as much.
