Note to everyone cherish your life and don't be too stupid on the roads, because I have lost a close friend (Adam Bliss) on the road and he was only 19 years, 1 day and 10 hours old which is too young to lose his life.
So please be careful on the roads so your family and friends don't have to go through the same ordeal.

Hi there. 
My condolences to your friend, on his tragic depart of from this beautiful country we call Australia. I know what you mean, when you say, drive safer. Its just not worth it. These following points advertised by the RTA may just remind you to keep safe.
Theres no such thing as safe speeing. 
Drink and drive, your a bloody idiot.
Speed cameras used in this area.
Signs like these put up by the RTA, try to warn you to SLOW DOWN. DONT SPEED.
I nearly lost a dear friend of mine once as well, and i thought it appropiate to share it with you guys.
I was doing a commercial when i used to work in the marketing department, and we were filming the commerical for the Wide Body Camry. The director told me to drive down the street while they filmer. They told me to drive at 100kmhr down the street, but the speed limit was on 60kmh back then.
ALL OF A SUDDEN! a chicken walked out across the road. I swerved to avoid the chicken but it was too late! I ran over the chicken! Killed the Chicken!
I promptly stopped the car, jumped out, and ran over the chicken...it was too late. I killed a chicken because i was peer pressured into driving at silly speeds in residental areas.
I hope this story helps people to remember that although i only killed a chicken, it could have been prevented by driving safely.
Thankyou for reading my story...
Love
Stevey

My condolences too..
Like Steve said.. Theres no such thing as safe speeing.. Visible warnings.. rules etc.. bad sadly not everybody follows.. and accidents happen.
I lost a goodfriend a few years ago.. someone i grew up looking to becuase he lived down the street from me. year's later on his friend got his p's and drove his mum's 80's excel. they were always crusing. i've been in the car with the driver.. nice guy always carefull on the road obeyed every rule. it was his mums's car so surely he didn't want to wreck it or do anything stupid to kill him or the passengers.
now the accident.. they were heading to a party at night around 9PM. at the stop lights waiting for the lights to go green..
Next morning i wake up.. hang out with my friends.. scilence all day.. were in the car driving along and my cousin ask's me how im doing, i just sat quite.. he goes yeah, its pretty sad we all can't belive don is gone.. i remained quite. didn't know what to think.. didn't want to belive. i walked home got a call on my mobile.. another friend of mine, a girl that me and him both knew and that lived on the same street as him on the time. she also asked me if im alright.. and she cried saying it's true is it..?
they were just waiting at the lights. 5 passengers in the car. a speeding car being chased from behind by the cops.. rams into them.. sending the rear passengers flying out the window..
it suxs how innocent people get affected by someone's stupid doing.

My sincere condolances to you, the dudes family and his friends... It's always such a tradgedy for someone to lose their life on the roads... These things happen every day but can usually be avoided... I was nearly killed in a car accident that wrote off my first car... A lady pulled out right infront of me and did a three point turn and I couldn't stop in time... Slammed straight into the side of her and that was the end of that... My head smashed against the MOMO steering wheel and sliced it open and shattered my two bones in my forehead... These happen to be the two strongest bones in the human body so I figure myself to be very lucky... Also, I have a twisted and bent spine, memory loss and two rooted shoulders...
And all this is because of some silly b***h that wasn't watching the road...
I think most accidents can be avoided and please everyone, do all you can to avoid having one...

sorry to hear about ur friend.. its tragic that someone with so much to live for is no longer with you.
i used to think it was cool to drive fast and do stupid shit.
untill a speeding commadore plowed into my girl friends car at wat the coppers say was excess of over 135 Km/h on a road where i used to frequently speed doing about the same speed or faster.
luckly my girl friend was only shaken and not stired but her old school skyline {her 18th b-day present} was written off..

i would just like to give my deepest condolences to all who have suffered through these kinds of events. I agreee... it does tear your heart in two when you hear about innocent people being killed because of a small act of stupidity. A life is a gift to precious to risk.
I hope for a day when we never hear of these stories again.

This is just like the accident yesterday on Ryde Road at Pymble...
A car heading towards the Pacific Hwy was turning left into Cross Street and a 4WD was following... The 4WD wasn't watching what he was doing and swerved at the last moment... That sudden swerve turned the 4WD over and it started rolling down the hill... As it was barrel rolling down the hill, it veered over the median strip and onto the wrong side of the road... A motorcycle coming the other way couldn't get out of the way in time and was crushed by the rolling 4WD...
An innocent gets killed by a moron in a 4WD...
This is why I think all those people that buy 4WD's for city driving are pricks... They are dangerous to others when in the wrong situation...
