sebol said...this is a kiting forum
That said Sebol, most kiters drive to their favourite spots, some longer distance than others, more in the holiday season. So this is very much appropriate.
Statistically, you are far more likely to be injured driving to your kiting spot than any kiting / shark related incident.
When the Bali bombings occurred, Australia mourned around 200 fatalities, as we should. There are still memorial services for this tragic event. We remember this readily.
BUT... Australian families mourn
over a 1000 fatalities EVERY year and it seems to be treated as "par for the course" because it is an
annual event
.
There have been
1,143 Australian road deaths in 2010, to the end of October.
Unfortunately I do not have
THE solution to this but I feel it would be a good start if our attitude was to change, where driving like a tool resulted in you becoming a pariah.
Excellent, safe driving skills would reward everyone, pass them onto your kids
.
I will carefully step down from my soapbox now
life is too short to be a tool.
