110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: up next to a bloke and he was an orthopedic surgeon,

111
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: and he said.

112
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: I got one rule for your kids. You never ride

113
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: a motor bike.

114
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: Because from what I see come through the door, it's

115
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 5: a mess.

116
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 9: My surgeon said, it's people like you that keep me

117
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 9: at a job.

118
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Read the play. You've made a lot of people,

119
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 3: rich kith Weld. Let's go to Dannyelle and west Huxton.

120
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: What happened when you're on your l's.

121
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 7: Dannielle, Oh a boozy idea. Yeah, I'm still shaking down

122
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 7: just thinking about it. But stupidly took all my three

123
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 7: oldest siblings on an l drive with my mum on

124
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 7: the side and coming up to a tea intersection, one

125
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 7: of those ones where you across the first lane and

126
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 7: then the other merging lane on the other side across

127
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 7: the first lane. Signe get into the merging lane, and

128
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 7: at that stage didn't know how to use my side marriage.

129
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 7: So we're stupidly looking in the back trying to merge

130
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 7: into the left Lane's probably there for about twenty minutes

131
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 7: until all the traffic stopped, just trying to let me go.

132
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 7: But I'm still shaking now just trying to think about that.

133
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: It was horrendous.

134
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: You've got to realize how many different Oh yeah, you

135
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240

Speaker 3: I don't.

137
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 5: I don't see gender In twenty twenty two says it's

138
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 5: interesting that all three calls were female.

139
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 3: Oh that's just.

140
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: How they were put through.

141
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: All the blokes that were called couldn't articulate the problems.

142
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: Really interesting to see a level of consistency.

00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: There a pig we changed change mate who.

151
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 11: I was going eighty kilometers down a hill and I

152
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,440
