Exactly. Some people just aren't experienced enough with long distance, rural driving so it's inevitable there will be injuries and sometimes unfortunately death.

Consolences to those that have lost loved ones.

Case in point I just spent 4 days camping in Collie, and the driver behaviour I saw going both ways (overtaking on double white, speeding, not driving with headlights on in rural areas). Bit worrying really.

Inexperienced or care factor issue?

As "Clontarf" quoted, its always the city people on country roads who are the inexperienced for long driving and lack qualifying experience. every Public Holiday, Xmas and Easter, its the same, too many accidents and Deaths. for gods sake , SLOW DOWN.. AS I see in my work, drivers dont STOP at stop signs all over metro area, speed, cross solid lines, all with the attitude, It wont happen to me.

Car takes out pole in Northam last night killing teenager, one rushed to PMH and Mother charged for DD

... Mother charged for DD

No she hasn't. She blew 0.13 but has not been charged. (Source: 7 News tonight and http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx? ... ntID=64419 )
The latter says "The woman’s reading means she can be charged with being in excess of 0.08." not "has been" charged.
