Except for the tourists in hire cars that would stop in the middle of the road and all get out to take a picture of a wombat, or echidna or some other furry beast, or just enjoy the view. More often that not on a blind corner.. Just stop, door open and wander around taking photo's. They would pretend to not speak English when confronted. Couple of friends got serious injuries due to trying to avoid the fools, I came close a few times, one of the reasons I stopped. Helmet/bike cameras were a must... but even then, try to get any recompense out of them when they just board the next plane home to "Asia somewhere".

re: powerlines on your car. If safe to do so, then the best thing is to WAIT for Energex (or similar) to tell you, FACE TO FACE, that it's safe to get out. Or, you can fairly safely drive the vehicle, but you must ensure you don't touch any metal. DO NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, unless it is literally ON FIRE - in that case, JUMP out so you don't bridge the car to the ground, feet together, and then (keep your feet together and shuffle, don't bunny-hop) away from the wires. (Note: advice direct from recent training provided by Energex and Qld Fire). (edited to change from bunny hop, based on a good reply, thanks)

[@michaelsteinbach]

2:05 - Power lines on your car, do not move and don't touch anything in the car. Call emergency services and wait till they tell you the power is off before you try to exit the vehicle.

[@_BangDroid_]

You can't _not_ touch anything in the car though, not without floating. But that's not the issue, the van is insulated by the tyres and now has the same voltage potential as the power lines, you and it will be safe as long as you don't provide a path to ground. Getting out of the car is the most deadly action you could take, so stay inside and call 000. It's the same reason why birds don't explode in a cloud of sparks when they land on 60KV lines, equipotential voltage.

[@michaelsteinbach]

@@_BangDroid_ This is true but you have also just been in an accident and the car may not be as insulated as it once was. Tires are easily ripped from cars in an accident.

[@jovetj]

@@_BangDroid_ A "path to grown" is not necessary to be electrocuted. High voltage does not quit work like low voltage does. All you need is a dangerous voltage gradient and you can die. Let's say there is a 7200V wire on the ground. It is radiating 7200 volts around it into the ground. If you walk up to it, eventually there will be a point where you take a step and your leading foot is at a higher voltage than your trailing foot, and ZAP through you.

These videos should be a source, police and Department of transport to immediately revoke licenses. I’m aware the only setback is proving who was driving. But when they get out after stopping in the middle of the highway and look directly into the camera. Licensed revoked permanently.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Well they issue fines without knowing who is driving. I think at least a letter to let people know they have been seen might put the wind up some people.

[@Jonesy1701]

The issue of who's driving has never stopped the government. They could simply do what they've always done, issue the fine to the registered owner, and if it wasn't them, they nominate a driver. Also, obligatory *licences, this is Australia.

[@match499]

They are just clueless fucks. They won't see anything wrong with this. You'll ask why the stopped, and they'll respond "because that's my exit, I can't miss my exit." And then you'll ask why they got out, and they'll respond "to see if there's any damage on my bumper." They're fuckwits.
