It is one of the most extraordinary examples of madness on the highway - a motorcyclist riding with no hands as he sends a text message.
Sitting astride a powerful machine, the rider was photographed working on his phone as he traveled along Sydney's M2 motorway at 60mph. In order to operate the phone, he had to take both hands off the handlebars and, it is believed, switch his expensive bike onto cruise control. Sitting astride a powerful machine, the rider was photographed working on his phone as he travelled along Sydney's M2 motorway at 60mph The rider was photographed by a passenger in another vehicle - believed to be a bus or a lorry due to the elevated angle - as he rode, head down, his concentration on his text message.
Had he crashed, the thin clothing he was wearing would have given him no protection from, at the very least, severe cuts, grazing and broken bones. 'I thought I'd seen everything,' said morning radio host Ray Hadley when he posted the picture on his website today. 'But obviously I hadn't until now.'

The only other interpretation of your comment would be that you'd have to go to Australia to encounter someone texting and driving. It happens where you too, you know.

Re: Zen and the art of
Because in the future no one would be texting and driving where you live? You would only encounter that in Australia?

Actually, it just looks like one more example of the strategy I described in the thread in News and Suggestions...
"Instead of trolling Strop and Hen on a single subject, I'll try to mask my overall on-going trolling pattern by tossing out gratuitous swipes on multiple topics, in multiple threads in multiple forums"....
I can recall a time when you talked enthusiastically about the possibility of moving there....

At least the handle bars on motorcycles in OZ are on the same side as the handle bars on motorcycles here in the US...

A public caning of cylists/motorists would go a long ways toward solving this problem.

I'd consider it if I could arrange to be sedated for every second on an airliner.

My first trip over (about age 5) I begged my parents to leave me there with one of my aunties.
