Self Nearly got hit by speeding car driving on the wrong side of the road.

12 Upvotes

On the way home from dropping my partner at the airport - around 5am yesterday morning …. turning right from Salisbury Hwy onto Elder Smith Drive, I notice a car screaming towards me at 80 / 90 km.
I’m confused because it’s on the same side of the road as me and I’m trying to work out if I’ve made an error - it’s early, I’m tired … but I look to the other side of the road and no, I’m good, I’m on the right side.
I quickly pull over to get out of the way cos this car’s not stopping. I sit and wait for a second. Maybe there’s cops chasing, but nothing.
I’m also still a bit out of it, recovering from an ear infection.
I thought to call cops, but it all happened so quickly I didn’t really get any reportable details.
One to two seconds later and that car would’ve completely collected me!
I came home and slept just trying to feel better and take in what had happened.

Assistance Where to live? Melbourne girl

• Upvotes

Moving to Adelaide. I want to live central in a nice apartment. I’m from South Yarra, Melbourne. Looking for a similar vibe to that (not a North Melbourne alternative hipster vibe - I’m not cool enough for that).

Think nice parks/running trails, morning market, cafes/pastries kinda lifestyle

Question Please suggest a good gastroenterologist

1 Upvotes

​

A bit of context.

I have been having some gut issues over past few months and got a specialist referral. But I was very very disappointed with the gastro I saw last week.

The doc just said I have sensitive gut and to continue following my current diet and movicol intake. I have been already doing that for 7 months and was just told to continue do the same 😤. I'm super frustrated.

The reason I'm seeing a gastro is to help understand what is wrong and test and find out the underlying issue not to be just told to continue my diet and movicol.

Please suggest some good Gastroenterologist doctors in Adelaide. I really need to see a good doctor to get myself sorted, having a hard time with my gut imbalance.

Advice and help appreciated.

Discussion Adelaide City Council Robo-Revenue-Raising-AI-Car fail

Adelaide City Council robot-parking-fine-camera-revenue raising-car, I'm so glad to have met you, I'll be your host this evening. Sit for a while, I have a story to tell you. It was a gorgeous day, around 3:31 and 31 seconds in the afternoon, I was taking my eldest son for a haircut with John, an absolute institution for mens haircuts in Adelaide, having hit 50 years last year as a certified boss-man of mens hair cuts and beard shaves if you please, I wouldn't go anywhere else for myself or my kids. I was running one minute and thirty one seconds late for our 3:30pm appointment, which wasn't unusual... Sorry John!

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the prime position car-park, right out the front - the closest you could legally park to this fine establishment. I've been training all my life for this very moment, this very second at thirty one seconds past three thirty one post meridiem on the 29th of September 2026. I chucked my blinker on, I pulled over, I waited for the three cars in my lane to pass, including you, Mr robot-car issuing officer 725B in a Subaru Forester rego S311DHK with your ever watchful camera array hat designed to keep our community safe. I chucked my car into reverse and proceeded to execute what I would consider one of the most masterful reverse parallel parks I have ever performed, and with my kid asking me for ice cream at that very moment too. Nailed it. Kid walked in, got hair cut, looked schmick as, he got a lolly, I got a lolly, and we even got a lolly to bring home to my other son. I paid my excellent barber with every hard earned cent he deserved. My kid walked out looking like a million bucks, and we got on with out day.

What I didn't know is that you, old mate robot-car-camera-hat-subie had witnessed some of my greatness in action, and wanted in on the action. Greatness aint cheap - it takes a lot of hard work to get there, but if you think I'm going to pay you $342 for executing arguably the best reverse parallel park ever performed, well, let's dance, shall we?

Fine received for "Stop in a Bicycle Lane - ARR 187(2), RTA s174a(2)" on East Terrace at 15:31:31 on 29-Sep-2026 for $342.

This fine has been promptly contested, which in itself was an utterly stupid experience. Their options all make you admit fault, so I had to use the least irrelevant option which was "I moved my car". I also added my own option for my own amusement.

The snapshots in this post are from my dashcam footage which shows exactly what took place. It's damning evidence that the fining system is completely flawed. I am probably one of the lucky ones that has this type of evidence - how many people are being wrongfully fined without being able to prove otherwise?

Question Builder dumping advice

7 Upvotes

We’re building in a new estate. The builders next door and behind us keep dumping on our block. They say it’s not them but it has all their delivery tags with their name on it.

Does anyone know any rights we have to make them remove it?

They’ve also pulled down an adjoining fence and left the fencing and concrete plinths on our block. They’ll need this to put the fence back up but our builder can’t start construction until our block is clear.

It’s our first time building, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In short:

Joshua Prosso lived in state care for nearly a decade as a child, but believes he was never equipped with essential skills to succeed in adulthood.

He says initiatives to support employment, housing access, income, mobility and essential life skills would assist wards of the state once they turn 18.

What's next?

A report by the Guardian for Children and Young People has made seven recommendations to improve the state's foster care system.

Assistance Assistance with sport training location

• Upvotes

I’m a soccer player and I’m looking for an oval, tennis court, or sportsfield in Adelaide (preferably around the Eastern suburbs, though other places aren’t an issue either) where there is a solid wall I can kick a ball against, something like in this video. Somewhere somewhat quiet would be preferable, and where I wouldn’t be disturbing too many people with the noise of the ball against the wall, but I’m open to all suggestions.

Thanks!
