Wire (cheese cutter) barriers

wait, i think i misread that

but you are aware that, just a few weeks after a rider was cut in half on the southern motorway, a truck crashed through the same stretch of barrier:

crossed the median, hit two oncoming cars and ended up in a tree on the other side.

total failure.

then there's this pleasant photo that get's most car drivers to change their opinion




in the areas further down SH1 the WRB are ON the double yellow line; they aren't preventing a head on in a accident, they're preventing dumbasses from passing when there's oncoming traffic and causing the accident, and causing endless frustration for those stuck behind a truck doing 80kph at 1am on a friday night

I am fully aware and it was on the Saterday at 3.30am Dan was killed by these things, and it was Sunday that the Truck went through the WRB's less than 2 K's from where my son died.

Also ask yourself why the Falcon is so low a res, if you import into a img program and enlarge you will see.

And another reason Britian has changed their minds over WRB's and are now looking at Concrete

Raphael Grzebieta: (Raphael G-shz-bee-Eta)of Victoria’s Monash University


I see it as the next frontier where we can really get this road toll right down. I’m talking about human error tolerant systems. That’s what we need to build.

Karina Kelly, Reporter:
What does that mean?

Raphael Grzebieta:
Well it means people make mistakes. People can fall asleep. Yes someone might be drunk, someone might be speeding. Sure they should wear the consequences of that. However, should that person die as a result of an incorrectly designed system?

Claes Tingvall:
Having a road transport system that kills and injures so many people is not the way to live in a civilized society.

Bengineer says "Barrier failure may be 1st in state
Cars rarely go under cables,"
( Seem we have the same mentality as LTNZ in the States,the Road engineer should read the facts on the artical below, not that uncommon)

Have you got the ability to do that? If you do would it be possible for you to save a copy of it and email it to me? I have useless software on here, and that is one image I would really love to use in, I already have it added to flyers, but as you say the resolution is crap.

Handy to have in higher res...but are you sure you want to see the contents of the car? Some things are better left to the imagination. Then again, I did post the pic of the sliced up girl a while back...enough to turn the strongest stomach.

I agree it may be a bit strong, perhaps pixulate the contents of the vehicle a little to disguise the horror, but leave enough there to make it clear. I want the pic poster sized, bet a few more people would sit up and take notice if they could see what it does to cars.

They do when they see that pic...poster size would be good.

Yepper, so the next question is who on here has the ability to work the magic. I know a couple of printers that may be able to do some "cheapish" printing

All I did was save it to the desk top and used Kodak imige to open it then resized it as large as I could before it became imposible to see what was what, white seat becomes some what RED when enlarged a small amount.

What would be good if we could get the original photo file before it was edited down to such a low Res
