SA Roadlink

Not to seem to make light of the ridiculously unnecessary loss of life due to the recent bus accidents, but SA Roadlink being in the news recently brought to mind those ads they used to flight on TV going on about how advanced their busses are.

But did anyone else notice the language all the controls were in? It looked like Portuguese!

No wonder these drivers seem to "lose control" of the bus, although that's always seemed to me to be an excuse for driving too fast for the conditions. Or my other favourite "the brakes failed" - of course they did when you were driving to fast to go round a bend and the brakes overheated.

And now I see TV ads for Greyhound- smart advertising or taking advantage of others' misfortune? (And not a word of Portuguese in sight.)

Que?
