It had blood all over the front bumper and the old dude kept driving as if nothing happened.
Also another benefit of Waze, alerts to hazards on the road and potholes.

That dirt road was pretty much all straight (Norseman - Hyden), and in pretty good condition. It cut out 90mins by not going through Perth via GEH, but personally not my idea of fun on low profile 18s in a half decent car.
On second thoughts maybe thats not for me. I've still got my commonsense and a passion for driving.
Don't think I'm ready to give up on that and start using an application to drive instead.
