RIP. Too many lives lost on that road over the years
Something needs to be done about that road. It is a death trap. Way to many corners and bends. Needs to be straightened out where possible. R.I.P.
Rest in peace . Maybe if drivers altitudes changed to the conditions of the roads there might be less accidents making changes to a road is good in it’s own right but is it facilitating bad driving ?
I travel the road twice a day 6 times a week, yes the road is twisty but the quality of driver is a sight to behold.not at all referring to the deceased. RIP
100 kph is way too much for most of that road and needs to be revised ASAP. RIP….
RIP .
God rest his soul but a lot of single vehicle accidents are related to medical conditions and nothing to do with the road. So wait before blaming his speed, the bends, etc etc
Nobody has said speed or bends. was the cause of this crash.
There’s no mention of blame in my post.
speed limits all over the country need to be reviewed. Especially the 60kph and 80kph, on country roads. And then 100 on dual carraigeways and 120 on motorways..
Yeah, with modern cars and braking systems 120 on motorways is much too pedestrian.
Speed limits on any single carraigeway should never exceed 80kmh.
speeds on rural roads should be 100 km on motorways 150 km it’s plonkers that cannot drive end of
deepest sympathy
have your say
