Main Roads WA Get Your Act Together

As many of you may know, there was a tragic incident on the Mitchell Fwy that took the life of a 21yo man on Sunday morning.

Over the last three days there have been a number of posts on Facebook regarding what to do on the freeways in the case of an emergency. This very detailed information that was being shared is unknown by a lot of people in Perth.

These have information on who to call (Main Roads:138 138) and what to do i.e. Stay in your car with your seatbelt on, wait for emergency crews to arrive so they tow you to a safe location. We have posted this information on the DRN1 facebook page.

I find it disgusting that Tuesday afternoon was the first time I had seen a post with this valuable information on the Main Roads Facebook page. It is now 1pm on Wednesday afternoon and I am only now seeing it on news Facebook Pages. The tragic accident happened on Sunday morning.

I was speaking with a friend on Tuesday who’s brother is a driving instructor and not even he knew about this vital information. I have read the driver handbook at the time I was transferring my licence from Victoria and I don’t remember seeing this information written in the pre-school like driver handbook.

How is it that our inexperienced young drivers are not taught this whilst learning to drive? How is it that drivers who have been driving for years do not know this information exists? And finally, how the hell does it take Main Roads so long to post this information on their Facebook page?

You would think in this day and age where information is so readily available, all people should know this by now. It’s a bloody disgrace and it’s time that Main Roads get their act together!!!
