“Some people are so impatient,” Christine Bradbury wrote.

“Wasn’t even looking.. dangerous,” Jannette Duncan said.

“And they wonder why there’s accidents at that intersection, when you’ve got drivers like that,” Kerry Obryan commented.

“I got T-boned at that exact intersection.. and got written off, couldn’t see anyone coz of the cars on the side of the road, dangerous intersection that one,” Brando Smith wrote.

Cheryl Canham added that streets in both Yarrawonga and Mulwala need their lines repainted in order for drivers to see where the intersections were.
