Not when you are towing a trailer mate.

The limit here for towing is 90, cops can be quite zealous if you're going over 95 with a trailer.   I just thought Aussie, must be different rules there.

@Snapey    Hey Pete, reckon I've figured out a possible / probable cause of your black out. 

They can't find anything wrong with you because there isn't anything amiss there, it was the vehicle!  I reckon it was probably carbon monoxide poisoning, odourless, tasteless & invisible. If it were this it would account for the lack of issues they can find with you, also once the engine stops so does the poisoning & your body begins to clear it.  Medics would have been treating your physical injuries first & you feeling like shite would also be explained by the impact damage to the ole body, but I bet they didn't test for carbon monoxide poisoning at the time eh!  It'll be gone from your system now so can't check that. The exhaust system on the ute may still be able to be examined, but since there was not a death, I doubt the investigators will go to that forensic level.  However improbable,  it fits the circumstances.
It's something you should bring up with your doc's, as it would show it wasn't you & you'll be fine to drive anywhere again.

Interesting theory Col about carbon monoxide poisoning. It's never been mentioned before but either has the heart medication the specialist has me on. I had an appointment with a sleep apnoea doctor today & the first thing he spotted when going through my medications was Forxiga. The side effects from Forxiga could also have been the cause of my black out. I have to do a sleep apnoea test in a week so the results from that will be interesting.

By the way Col and Irish, the trailer is rated at 100kph so yes I was speeding. Mind you I'm wondering if 110kph setting on the cruise control isn't closer to 100 in real life.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

I;m back after getting a new right hip  (thats to go with the new right knee !)

Riding in a couple of months maybe.....  The risk of the hip popping out is there so being bloody careful.   But seems easier than when I had the knee done ? .

There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.
