I was shocked, i could have easily T-Boned it, and if i was in a shittier car i would have. It would have been interesting to see how much it would have been covered up if it did make it to the news.
I was shocked and it resulted in me saying, 'you don't need to be an idiot under the influence these days to be an idiot on the roads, just look at this fine example'. Hopefully karma would prevail and knock some sence into every cop that was sitting in that booze bus travelling to their next 'hot spot'.
Another fine example of cops being 'hoons' on the road - just take a daily drive and sit out side of the tullamarine cop, dog squad and driver training venue (mickleham rd) - numerous times there have been 3-4 cops in a car (some i believe could be trainees) weaving in and out of traffic at speeds between 100-120km/h on public roads, to what looks like they may be on their way to other venues (always seem to go past mickleham don't know whats there), but the things is, yes they may not need sirens and bla bla on all the time, but i believe they are manditory when other cars are in close proximity on the road for call outs.
Seeing all this this has left a very very sour taste in my mouth, but then again i would be making all this up as i wouldn't be a credible source and be regarded as a whistle blower.
These days I don't bother with the news and media or even government any more, just keep to myself, pick out bits that i want and think is true, do my own little analysis and move on with life, the more attention they all get, the worse it will get for all of us, there are already too many people with rocks in their heads tagging along with the bandwagons, thus it wouldn't matter what government leaders get elected any more - they are all the same, just like management at a job - if they don't preform and make money, they are next out, just like the gov, don't preform and make money, they don't get elected and the 'leader' don't get a bigger pay packet.
