There seems to be a lot of trees on the road in the last 3 weeks, what is going on, for goodness sake,it always seem to say that they fail to stop and CRASH a short time later, me tinks there is more on these accidents, my thoughts are that trees have been there a long time, and cars just have to get in their way, my thoughts only on this subject, anyway SUNLIVE WON IN NZ for NEWS this is AWESOME ,WELL DONE No1, Thankyou, 10-4 out, phew.
