Trees not to blame

REGARDING the letter on road safety.

Having lived in Toodyay for nearly thirty years and being an Ambo for six years, I’ve not heard of or seen a road accident caused by a road or a tree etc.

May I suggest that accidents are caused by drink driving, inexperience, drug use, speeding, fatigue, medical conditions, failing to drive to the road conditions, inattention, using mobile phones.

I live on (not literally) a gravel road where the speed limit is 110km/h and at one spot a large wandoo narrows the width so it’s just wide enough for two vehicles to pass each other (and no I won’t say which road as someone will turn up with a chainsaw and cut it down).

So, to the writer of that letter “don’t try putting me on a guilt trip for accidents caused by the above”.
