Dick Johnson Road Safety Ambassador – Not So Safe
June 22, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Update: we have been informed the photo is more than 12 months old.
Firstly, let us just say, Dick Johnson is one of Australia’s all time favourite racing drivers, and as a result, who else but Dick Johnson to be the QLD Government’s, Pacific Motorway Road Safety Ambassador.
What does Dick have todo? Not much really, he does have some handy tips though, he encourages motorists to keep the far right lane free unless overtaking and also gives some other generic tips – however he is after all, only human.
Unfortunately for Dick, a motorist managed to catch him breaking his own rules, dont use your mobile while driving.
We all use our mobiles once in a while when driving and surely, Dick Johnson, one of the best drivers in Australia, can manage to do two things at once?
QLD transport have been asked to comment. We are still waiting for their response.
Thanks to roadsmart for the tip.
Print it: 
oh snap..
Oh man that photo is gold!
I can’t wait for QLD transports response.
Lol I love his lost look… but maybe could say he wasnt using his mobile, just checking the time or something
Yep…that’ll just about do it!
The look on his face is priceless.
dickhead
QLD Gov could well pull their sponsorship/support away from him, possibly costing him thousands!!
I would not have thought it was a good idea to take his photo, rather let him be…
holy crap!
He’s human!!
As long as he wasn’t speeding it’s ok
Of course he wasn’t speeding… if he was he would have died instantly!
DJ’s looking funny in that Falcon. Look at that wanker “Benjie” will ya!
what about the person taking the photo, isnt that dangerous??
Only if you’re driving. Passengers taking photos should be fine.
ahhhh…. sorry dumb moment!
How did this person catch Johnson doing that?
he was just turning hands free on (maybe)
or checking the time,
or listening to wolf mother tunes he had stored on it ha ha ha ha
