Sperm Bank,
Did you hear the Transport's Minister's analogy on the NAS after the Virgin RA? He says that everytime he drives his car he is 1second away from a collision with a truck when he passes one going the other way. Can someone explain to him that:
1. Cars travel on roads (2 dimension), planes travel in the air (3 dimensions). [May need to explain to him what a dimension is]
2. Cars travel in lanes, planes can fly criss cross any which way.
3. All roads have warning signs and right of way rules, all road users follow the same rules, this would be the equivalent of Class C airspace except that everyone is separating themselves instead of a controller doing it
4. His analogy should be more like driving a car on a road and trying to avoid hitting a bug that is flying across the road.
5. Can some truckie please swerve when they see his car approaching.
