   Our Authorities started doing this, maybe 5-10 years ago, on major   
   Highways. Sometimes parked in the Parking Lane, sometimes in the centre   
   divide.   
      
   At first I thought they might have broken down .... but then you notice   
   all the bent panels .... and then the Police Tape sort of gives it away!!

   Back in the 70's, the Road Deaths Count hit, I think, a top of 1034 per   
   year in the State of Victoria. Nowadays, after changes like compulsory   
   seatbelt wearing, the count is about 225-250 per year. Still too high   
   but a hell of a lot better.
