Dorrigo Anzac war memorial vandalised by drunken people and motorists
"The stone soldier has been through the wars of multiple vandalism attacks and a car crash."
"The rifle was damaged when a 28-year-old man climbed the war memorial, breaking off the rifle barrel, which a 24-year-old woman then put in her underwear, making lewd movements during a drinking session at the nearby hotel. Both fined by the court, the man was also ordered to pay $25,000 towards repairs."
"Since the vandalism last year, the Minns Labor government has introduced tougher penalties for intentional or reckless damage of war memorials, which can now lead to up to seven years in prison." >>

'Zero arrests from 106 hit-and-runs on cyclists in London last year, as cycling campaigners slam “completely unacceptable” figures'
#London #Cycling Campaign: “One of the reasons behind hit-and-runs is the existence of unregistered or uninsured vehicles or drivers. The police can take action to reduce this by using the cameras that they have up on the roads and taking those vehicles off the roads."

Best practice examples from the emergency services!‼️ 🚑
https://youtube.com/shorts/ZLy4bG-WvsA?is=ZLzWxY5i6UOkICKJ
I really enjoy watching these kinds of emergency response videos, whether they’re from the fire brigade, an ambulance or the police, and I’m always delighted to see German motorists making proper way for emergency vehicles with their blue lights on by forming that emergency corridor. 🤩
It’s good to know that forming an emergency corridor is an essential part of driving test training in Germany. 😃

Koala dies after allegedly being dragged behind vehicle down a street
"A rope was tied around the animal's neck and the other end was looped around a vehicle's tow ball, before the animal was dragged along the road."
"There was blood and fur along the road where it got dragged. It was gurgling blood and had deep abrasions over a lot of its body."
"Volunteer vets were forced to euthanise the animal after it suffered injuries, including deep abrasions and a fractured jaw."

Seven charts that reveal how unprepared Australia was for the (fossil) fuel crisis
"It’s worth pointing out that the International Energy Agency (IEA) requires all member countries which are net importers of oil and oil products (including Australia) to maintain reserves equivalent to at least 90 days of imports."

'By our calculations, motoring in Britain has rarely been so cheap
A reason to ignore public pressure for relief at the pump''Motoring would not be so cheap today had successive governments not frozen fuel duty since 2011. Another 5p cut followed Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The giveaways have cost taxpayers £120bn.'

Hit and run motorists, pedestrians and the justice system
"Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’. In June 2024, Jake Danby hit two Aboriginal men with his car on a Darwin street, killing one and injuring the other."
The "driver had bragged in text messages that the man he killed was an “oxygen thief” and he would not go to jail. He called it a “two for one combo” and texted it was “pretty funny watching them roll around on the road after going over my bonnet”.
"He was handed a 12-month community corrections order, with five months in home detention." >>

Bellingen's 'vanishing' biodiversity
The 'upgrade' of Gleniffer Road and and Roses Rd. encourages motorists to drive as fast and careless as possible. Road signage is knocked down as no road is ever wide enough.
Biodiversity has to live in this fragmented space with speeding combustion boxes. All year around there are dead beings on the road that drivers kill and mush up.
Here are the latest killings in just a few days:
A large beautiful python on the middle of Roses Rd cut in half with one half missing
A freshwater turtle smeared along the road.
A stunning bright Green Tree Snake killed and tied into a knot.
Many birds along the roadside, crippled and enduring a slow death
No one counts the carnage.

"The NT Supreme Court heard that after the crash, which killed one Aboriginal man and injured another, Danby sent a series of "callous" text messages about his victims. In one message, Danby described the crash as a "two for one combo"."They learnt their lesson now, maybe next time they will use the crossing instead of walking out in front of cars, expecting me to stop like they own the place," the text message read...Danby will be detained in a house at Humpty Doo for the next five months." >>

Children cut air pollution near their schools – by taking aim at their parents’ idling cars
"Australian drivers leave their cars idling up to 20% of their total travel time, producing as much as 8% of a trip’s emissions."
"Around schools, idling cars create pollution hotspots exposing children to harmful pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter. At the start and end of every school day, many Australian children head to the carpark or street to get picked up. While they’re waiting, they will be breathing in a mix of toxic gases and particle pollution."
"But car idling is one of the easiest behaviours to change. Internationally, anti-idling campaigns have led to improved air quality. In Australia, the problem of idling has largely been overlooked."

Prioritising life over cars
VisionZero - Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
"Helsinki, like Oslo and Stockholm, have all but eliminated traffic fatalities. Lower road speeds, automated cameras, and clever city design all helped; but it’s the over-arching vision that made it all possible. More than half of Helsinki’s streets have a speed limit of 30 km/h (approximately 20 mph). Smarter street design also played a key role. Pedestrian and cycling infrastructure was prioritized for upgrades in recent years. More and more people started using public transit or bikes, or just walking."

The koala procreation season and car crashes
Speeding combustion engines are one of the major threats to unarmoured koalas. No road is ever wide enough for vehicles in the Bellingen/Gleniffer area. Road signage is regularly knocked down and speeding is the 24/7 norm.
Koalas like to meet up between June and December. This is the time when the marsupials are forced to negotiate a fragmented habitat of roads, settlements and degraded logging sites.
Switch on your 'car brain' and consider others.
