Take care on the roads people, particularly those of you in regional SA or who travel frequently on those roads. Come home safe.

Don't know the people involved but do some family members through playing cricket against them.
Far too many lives lost on the road and for some reason we don't seem to be able to reduce the number.

Mobile phones and distraction a huge factor. When I was in Mildura 2 weeks back they had a senior ranking police officer on the radio and he specifically said this is easily the biggest reason why the road toll hasn’t dropped further as it should.

If that’s the case why don’t they build technology in the phone and/or car that disables phones being used whilst driving.
Surely it can’t be that hard.
If it saves just one life it’s worth it.

Good luck convincing any mobile phone company to introduce technology that disables you using your phone. Putting phones in a glove box by law when driving seems more logical.
