Ive only ever driven in Vic and NSW, but by far NSW is sooooo much worse.
They are TERRIBLE drivers over there, no respect for any one else on the road, just mayhem

Very amusing to say the least, I am beginning to see a trend happening, us South Aussies seem to think the Vic's are the worst drivers. I remember sitting behind someone for a good length of time over there, opportunity comes up with a overtaking lane and they speed up and then once the overtaking lane is finished they drop to the same speed as before.

I have noticed in Adelaide, well at least where I'm driving a lot more drivers are allowing other drivers to merge.

I'm sure we can all picture this.

Roadworks - One of the lanes are blocked off and you have to merge into 1 lane, you get some twit flying up the inside to gain that all important position on the road, highly amusing when they find out no one will let them in. This here drives me nuts and I will refuse to let anyone in front of me who tries to gain the advantage rather than go the flow of traffic.

Of course the above rule doesn't apply if it's a fellow Commodore driver

Yeah we get that all the time where 2 lanes merge into one and ppl try and gun it in the inside lane to get in front but no one lets you in.
I nearly stacked my clubby once because of that, i was in the left lane, AU falcon in the right lane, i was full car length in front of him though.
Isnt the rule that whoever is in front gains right of way? I had my indicator on and everything and was about to merge and he sped up and pushed me off, prick
Anyways he sped up and wouldnt let me in, pushed me off into dirt road, still wouldnt let me in, had to sorta swerve to avoid poles and crap, then my road rage kicked in and once i got back on the road he knew he was in the wrong lol, followed him for quite a while on the horn constantly with high beams right up his ass and then abused the crap out of him when he was next to me at a round about.

I live in Victoria but nearly every person I know that has writen off a car is from South Australia mostly from the Narracourt/Penola area. I'm pretty sure the records would show that have the biggest crashes per person in the country and most of the time they would be ****ed too . It's true that there is a race culture on Victorian roads where people speed up before speed signs/overtaking lanes to get the unfair jump on you to pass. I'd go mad if I didn't have the VP which is able to put most cars back in their place even if they get the jump on me

I voted SA. Having driven in all the other states, i can safely say SA drivers have no ****in clue how to operate a motor vehicle.

The only good thing about SA is the lower volume of traffic.
