This is why I park WELL away from the road

https://maps.app.goo.gl/iWuf3Tr6vccZcQbQA ----- Way over on the far right are some traffic lights (we drive on the left hand side of the road here) the car was in the left-ish lane, came through the lights, not sure if it hit another car etc.. and it speared HARD right, across the traffic island ahead of the second gum tree, and into the bus stop on the left.. smashed that down... Never forgotten that... frightened the fuck out of me... You know It's not the death thing, it's that such extraordinarly chancy situation to be sitting at the bus stop and to have a car travelling at very high speed, do a hard right turn , spear across 6 or so lanes and a traffic island and to hit the bus stop.. Fuck that... So like a lot of Australian bum fuck nowhere roads are like this..... https://maps.app.goo.gl/JYGZCWm4dHPdNvPj7 and of some one comes through there speeding or drunk or falls asleep at the wheel - and despite my car being lit up like a christmas tree, with reflectors etc... there is no spare room... BUT if I find totally random place like this - and you can zoom in up the old lane - you can park 50 meters or so off the main road...... https://maps.app.goo.gl/BVfXctrhNjVMmiiF8 and on the regional freeways - because so many people fall asleep at the wheel etc.. the roads are safet wired in... They are only good for driving on or breaking down on..... nothing else... https://maps.app.goo.gl/5iQqADgmfcMikE3k6 etc..

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Its the same thing with health. Have known some very healthy looking people who excercised and ate right just to not make it past 30. Sometimes we just get fucked out of the blue.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Yeah, I've heard from a couple of people that have been to Australia. They're driving out in the middle of the outback is the same. The only thing it could be considered anywhere near in the states is driving like in one of the dakotas where you have miles and miles and nothing but miles and miles!

@bigintol03: Everyone's normal is different. This is why I am very reluctant to go to the big city - it's a 550K round trip... My normal. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5RRPCGstKCgVFWRQ9 City Normal. https://maps.app.goo.gl/4R9xaHPwo5UEZtPH7

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: That's a LONG trip!

@bigintol03: This is why I have the bed roll in the back.... and full dining facilities... stove, water and tinned food + fresh food when passing a supermarket..

@bigintol03: Look what I just spotted... https://maps.app.goo.gl/BVfXctrhNjVMmiiF8 - in the center of the zoom in.... https://maps.app.goo.gl/2RWo8k8hX9PUysdJA

@bigintol03: And there are fresh-ish tyre marks in the grass.. https://maps.app.goo.gl/wefD6UuFEbpR4N368

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Is that you?

@bigintol03: Ummmm in the car in the bushes.... No. It's just some times in amongst the extraordinary amount of details, there are some details. I just happened to notice one of them.
