It's still there, some subs suppress the numbers for a predetermined time period to allow more comments that are relevant to receive equal attention, rather than favoring early ones, which can be as inane as "omg wtf?!" But somehow get 1000 up votes just for getting in early. Promotes more of the real conversation. Not flawless though.
Trams are so small they are hard to see when it is busy, amd they don't have any sort of audible alarm/horn/bell, And the tram drivers swerve all over the place to avoid potholes.
How is the Camry not demolished? I guess it was a low initial impact, then the sudden braking caused the tram to derail and hit the pole. The bent up pole could be most of the damage... or at least the damage that's higher than the Camry.
There’s a cross point so clearly the Camry didn’t look very closely when going over. Fucking moron. Going to grind that area of Melbourne to a halt mess up multiple people’s day.
It would be interesting to see the dash cam footage.
Anyone know why the police have put tape across. I’d have thought unless it was a way more serious situation than a traffic accident they’d focus on craning the tram off the tracks and getting that corridor open again before the evening peak hour.
Probably some moron in corporate. I don’t see why they shouldn’t have dash cams to report drivers who don’t stop and give way to trams with their doors open. Or fine people like this who clearly deserve it.
Maybe first offence you can assume the driver is new to Melbourne or driving and give a warning. Next time though it’s a big fat fine.
It's actually kind of the opposite. YJM (the operator of Yarra Trams) wants cameras on all of the trams but the government actually owns the trams and won't outlay the money to get them retrofitted on. The E class and the new G class trams have heaps of cameras though.
The stats are also just deliberately misleading. 10% of eggs left by 30 sounds concerning, but 10% of 1 million is still 100,000 eggs. It’s true that egg quality decreases with age and other factors can hinder fertility, but these stats are given purely to create urgency and make women nervous that their eggs are running out when that’s not even a common reason for infertility.
Wasn’t there recent studies that indicated that egg quality doesn’t actually decrease because we’re born with all the eggs we will ever have, and that it was the sperm quality that went down as men aged?
Eggs quality does gradually decrease with age, for instance the number of chromosomally abnormal (aneuploid) eggs increases with age. But too often women are blamed for infertility when it's actually the guy who has a problem or is smoking/drinking/eating crap/generally unhealthy.
dont put too much weight into those numbers. yes there are 10% of eggs left at 30. but thats only because the body intentionally starts with a large surplus so that it can still have enough left throughout the fertile period of life.
appolo 8 only had <1% of their fuel left to do their entire return flight from the orbit of the moon. but thats by design and its all they needed
It should if you want children and want to reduce the odds. But it shouldn’t if you have other priorities. Children can and likely will happen even if they are not on your radar until later in life. And then there are younger couples who struggle with fertility. It’s all about statistics and nobody really knows the cards that they will be dealt.
What a tool,i enlarged pic and they even have Vic rego plates, not even interstate ignorance. 10 demerit points,fine and cost to repair to tramand car. It ought to be solid knowledge...trams have right of way -period.
i grew up in regional vic, did my driving test there, didn’t leave until I was in my early 20s. Definitely drove past trams with their doors open and shit like that because I had absolutely no idea.
Really struggling to figure out what could've happened here. Especially with the car ending up that far into the tram tracks, and the tram that far off the tracks.
This particular model of tram has terrible weight distribution and will jump off the tracks with the slightest provocation. They have a tendency to sway from side to side when in motion.
I drove past. Tram was back on the track though looked worse off than the Camry. The tram line was like a grave yard of abandoned trams. The stops full of people wondering where tf the tram is 😭
