You obviously know a lot about it but then again, what's a life lost through stupidity on behalf of fools?  ???

You know at the end of the day we can point our fingers in all direction as much as we like.  Caravaners, motor cyclists, truck drivers, 4WDers, Volvo drivers, Victorians, taxi's, bowling hat brigade etc etc etc...makes absolutely no difference.  The fact of the matter is, in this country at least, everyone is as bad as each other.

We are not taught how to drive, we are taught how to pass a test.  We are conditioned to think that driving is a right, not a privilege. Everyone is so caught up in their own self importance, they forget that there are other road users out there with equal rights and equal priorities.  Somewhere in this whole argument, that simple fact has been forgotten.

It will make absolutely no difference having a whinge about the one time someone did something to you on the road when the truth be known, because of the very nature of drivers in this country, we have probably all been guilty of pissing someone else off at some point adding to yet another stereotype...!  We probably all do it every single time we get behind the wheel of the car or what ever it is we drive.

If there's one thing I've learned after 28 years of pulling people out of wrecked vehicles, with the exception of the over-representation of 16-22 YO males, the black top boogie man does not discriminate.

Petty, ill-conceived arguments on this forum are not going to make one iota of difference.  Real cultural change might.

Gotta agree with you again, but where does it start,
How we are taught to drive, the responsibility of holding a drivers license.

Most wouldn't have a clue what this actually means.

Driving the pacific H/way everyday, sometimes twice between Grafton & Iluka, it amazes me that there aren't more accidents.
The speed limit at Tyndal has dropped to 80kph, this is due to the accidents that have occurred there with caravans, cars, pulling out onto the highway due to the high speed of 100kph.
IMHO it is due to most motorists can not judge speed or distance and they are impatient.

Hair's I think you'll find they operate under a delusion.

They seem to think the most important, overriding fact, they're being hit from behind.
If they were to actually consider their situation.  Instead of this Fairy Tale.
They would be looking down the barrel of a FAIL TO GIVE WAY INFRINGEMENT.
I don't know what that costs in your end of the World.
Down Here in Vic. it's the same as an unreg. vehicle, crossing double lines etc. Top of the List.
If the oncoming vehicle has to swerve or brake to avoid a collision that's good enough.
Especially if they come out of a parking spot, or from behind a Stop or a Give way sign.
If you join a line of Traffic from a side street or a parking spot/area.
It's supposed to happen smoothly. 
No hiccups, no screaming tyres, no making others give you room.
Every one is supposed to get to the end of their trip without Grief.

I also agree with Darcy.

There seems to be a culture here in NSW to blame the road for all accidents and not the incompetence of the driver.

Not Just N.S.W.

Down Here, they get complaints.
They fix the road, new surface, new camber, new barriers alongside the road.
They throw Millions at it.  Then they LOWER the Speed Limit for the new area.
It just doesn't compute.

This week has been one of the worst I've seen! What is so hard to have those mirror extensions placed on you car?  ??? That with the number of drivers, that have night blindness ( your eyes star up with oncoming lights) so they continually slow down every time a car/truck/motorbike comes the other way, has just been stupid!  >:D If you have this problem, get off the bloody road by dark, don't be a danger to all around you.  ::)
