Not only a fail but incredibly stupid.

No wonder work place accidents happen more and more these days.

I wonder if waverly forklifts have seen the picture of how their forklift was being used?
New tynes arent cheap if they snap....

Queenslanders or those visiting our fair state should take a close look at the rear windows of Tradies Utes parked up here:

Glad you posted those pictures of the utes. I'm driving to qld for the first time soon. It's ******* pathetic where speed cameras are hidden these days.

That is the worst thing I have ever heard.

Have you never accidentally slipped 10 over the limit before without realizing?

Plus a road safety expert said they are a load of crap, so that's why these hidden speed cameras are a load of ****.
