THIS happened because people are STUPID not driving to the conditions, I did see it. There was another further toward Bushy Park where his Jeep or whatever had also overturned, he managed to moved it further down and off the road.
I am surprised more people are not killed, we travel from National Park to New Norfolk or Hobart weekly and the drivers over take when there are roadworks speed 40, we have even been over taken on the new bridge at Glenora.
IS there any end to Tasmanians and the fact they have no respect or consideration on the roads for anyone else but themselves.
