You will need to know his password to log in.

If his phone is turned off, then the apps will not find him.

Good luck

Did he have a long drive home? maybe he Waa really tired and decided to pull over for a sleep

Has he used his bank accounts?

Update? I hope he arrived safe.

I feel so sorry for you OP. I’d call the Police and report it. Check hospitals too?

Where's he driving from and to approximately? You don't need to give exact address but just towns/suburb

Any news? this is def the benefit of Life 360, it isnt stalkerish it helps you feel better knowing family are ok.

Relax and call the company.

Just upvoting and commenting for better reach. Hope you hear from him soon

How nerve wracking. I hope he’s ok.

I hope you get good news soon OP <3

Could Truck drivers put a call out? Does he usually take the highway home? Can you give the police stations and hospitals a call for the town he will go through? I hope you hear back from him soon. How stressful for you.

I'm so happy he's okay and I hope your stress levels have returned to normal. We have come to rely so heavily on mobile phones so much these days that we take it for granted that everyone is contactable at any time, but when things like this happen we can quickly get into a panic and imagine that the worst has happened.

Before mobiles, if you broke down or were stuck in the middle of nowhere you just had to walk for miles to find a payphone or hope you can flag down a passing car. If someone hadn't arrived when they said they would be, your only option was to just wait and hope nothing bad had happened. But what happened with your hubby was totally beyond his control and I can totally understand why you were becoming frantic with worry.

Hope you hear from him soon

This is why in our family we all have find my phone enabled, so they can keep an eye on us if we are behind.

At least last known locations.

Glad he is ok

His girlfriend lives on a dangerous street in the boonies.

I'm glad you've got a good outcome. For what it is worth we saw a lot of police pulling over white vans on the Hume today heading south.

So glad he is okay! Must have been a very stressful night for you.

I'm confused as to why anyone would consider putty vs the highway's. Unless you on the river, it's always faster via the highway. (Also a regional frequent traveller).

I would absolutely use Google maps shared location or life360, or apple find my phone or something. I do a lot of long trips frequently in and out of service, it helps my wife know I'm safe even if I can't get a message out, she knows where I was last and how long ago.

Oh thank goodness!!

Omg … can only assume what u went thru … Glad to know he is ok🫶

I’ll be doing that shortly. I’ve contacted one of his business partners but will be calling the warehouse soon

Thank you

He drives a white van / LDV van

Thank you

It was a long drive but it’s very unlike him to not let me know and he has a charger in the van so his phone being dead doesn’t make sense

Not for hours. Hasn’t been on socials for 12 hours

No still nothing. I crashed out on the lounge for a little while and woke up to my kids but not him. Still can’t reach him and he hasn’t come home

Police have been contacted but because his route is 6 hours long I don’t even know where to begin to contact hospitals.

He went up to Coffs Harbour or around and we live in western Sydney. He never told me he wasn’t coming home.

Yeah and putty rd is such a dangerous drive and dead spots everywhere.

Begin at the start of his route and work your way along the hospitals nearest to it along the route

Sorry, to hear that. I'll keep an eye out for any news. I'm in that general area. Hopefully he just pulled over for a power nap and overslept. If it runs on to long there are plenty of local Facebook pages you could post some information on for Coffs/Port and everywhere in between.

Reception can be spotty especially if you're not with a Telstra provider in some locations and they have been doing tower upgrades lately with some services being knocked out. Maybe he just couldn't reach you and stopped for the night somewhere?

The best way to get between Coffs/Syd is obviously the freeway, which is well travelled.

I hope you get some news soon and hopefully someone at his work has the information you need

Thats a big drive in one day, like what 7hrs there and then to come back? Hope he found a motel. Weather was intense last night.

Thank you so much! So far we’ve detected two accidents and they weren’t him

A car ran off the road on the Putty and caught fire. One man deceased.

I also live around the Coffs area and will keep an eye out for you.

Awkward

So I’m on a work road trip form QLD down through NSW and recently visited Hillston, along the roads in the area, there are half tall signs with numbers that count up or down in increments of 5. I got to West Wyalong and reached the count down to 0 with no indication of what those signs meant. Can anyone satisfy my curiosity for me?

old "mile" posts.

just a simple way to tell you how far from the next town you are. Most are in ks but you still find the odd old mile ones.

Blue sign with white numerals?

There should be a sign saying odometer testing somewhere at the start of each leg. The idea is to test that your odometer reading is correct.

what are the yellow ones along the Olympic?

Likely "Decametre" road house/property/lot addresses.

Usually one end of a road will be 0, and every 10 metres it counts up by one.

So "1845 Catfelcher Road" will be the property 18.45 kms along the road from the turnoff to the nearest town. Usually the "catfelcher road" is not included on the sign, just the "1845".

Nah I don’t think so, the ones coming into Hillston on Kidman Way showed 14305 so that wouldn’t really track. Plus they looked newer than most of the other road signs and such, plus I had a look on street view to see if I could get a picture and they weren’t there in the 2008 images.

Nah they are silver

> the ones coming into Hillston on Kidman Way showed 14305 so that wouldn’t really track

Property number maybe? 143.05km from the next town?

Nah the numbers didn’t really lineup with distances, and were distinctly different to the property numbers

i was sent a find for speeding in a speed zone, i would cop it if it were fair, i dont have a habit of speeding. This speed zone is generally 70km, i was doing 55km. My arguement is that the fine was for the 30th of january, there was no school on the 30th of january, they were student free days, according to the education department, parents were encouraged that they are not to send their kids to school on these days. This is a blatant money grab. I pointed this out to revenue nsw and they came up with the following bullshit below, anything else i can do or do they have me by the balls? or would it be worth letting a court decide it?

We refer to your request for review of Fine xxxxxxxxxxx for 'Motor vehicle exceed speed limit -

over 10 km/h - School Zone - Camera recorded - Individual' on 30 January 2024.

Outcome of our review:

We considered the circumstances you presented. We also consulted the Caution/Review

Guidelines, legislation and photographic evidence. Our investigations conclude the fine still

applies.

We acknowledge your comments indicating the offence occurred during school holidays, however

we are unable to cancel the fine.

School days are those publicly notified by the NSW Government. All NSW schools have school

zones in line with NSW Department of Education school terms, including pupil free days or staff

development days where there may be students attending school. These dates can be found on

the NSW Education Standards Authority website.

The speed limit in a school zone is 40 km/h. School zone restrictions are clearly signposted with

the speed limit and the time of day when restrictions are in place. The offence occurred within the

signposted times.

Leniency is not appropriate for this offence as it is serious due to the potential safety risk to

pedestrians and other road users.

What you need to do now:

Please pay $405.00

We will send you a fine reminder showing other ways to pay. You should act by the due date on

the reminder to avoid a $65.00 fee being added to the money you already owe. If it remains

unpaid further fees will be added and we will commence debt recovery action.

If you wish to dispute the fine further you would need to request for it to be decided in court via

'myPenalty'

Well known that school zones apply on thise days. The lights would be flashing to mark the zone when they were active.

This has been the case for decades.

It’s not a money grab. No more than anything else.

They enforce school zones on a schedule provided by NSW Education, according to their reply. Maybe it’s NSW Education you have a the problem with ???

I think you just need to cop it this time.

If the School Zone speed limit sign was flashing, then you must obey it. It does not matter what you know of school holiday dates.

Pupil free days and even the school terms are not the same across all schools. The government publishes official school terms each year and the school zones use these days because they should encompass all days schools could be open.

pay the fine and stop speeding

Do you know there were no students that day? Of the five local schools in my area, two of them had students there on the 30th.

OP has had a suspended license in the past as well…

ergh, writing revenue raising immediatly puts me offside.

It's been to court, and people have failed.

Short answer is that the school dates are set by the state, so they are bulked into one law.
