Ah you’d slip out anyway I’d say, you’d never be waiting long coming out from the slip road from Mungret for example. Always a few natural breaks. Maybe they could put in one of those mini roundabouts that everybody ignores instead.
I’ve been travelling that road a long time and prior to light being installed it must have been only 9 or 10 times I’ve come across cars mangled at that cross.
The wind died off fairly sharply around 3 or 4pm I think, the only time it felt a bit dicey was as it got dark, the wind picked up again and I was keen to get in out of it at that point. I remember Darwin as a lot more sketchy, went on longer and there were bigger trees down.
Of course it would have been my own fault if my head had been smashed in by a branch, but sure that’s half the fun of it. I promise not to post looking for sympathy if it does happen.
