Is it just me or...

[minux]

Im wondering, does anyone else notice how so many drivers presume a give way sign means give way to themselves. So many people now just pull out into traffic at random moments. People rarely indicate now, alot also seem to thinka roundabout is a chicane. I am so sick of these idiots almost cleaning me up when i havent done anything wrong. Oh and for the record, this isnt P Platers, it is a vast majority from P Plater to middle aged slut to grandma.

So please if you are one of these people, thinka bout what you are doing, because next time you pull out like that you may just kill someone.

[HoZy]

RARELY INDICATING! i hate people that don't indicate.....

Roundabout is a chicane if its on the Western port hwy at 11pm onwards.

But give way sign, gotta always be hesitant, coz if ur rolling out too fast, car comes up u cant ###n stop!

I ALSO HATE PEOPLE THAT CANNOT MERGE OFF A SIMPLE ****ING OFF RAMP!

They merge off at like 60-70km/h onto the freeway thats 100km/h!!!

Grrrrr Just this morning some guy about 40years old, one of those blue proton utes, almost side swiped me, through me into the emergency lane on the FWY so i missed him... WANKERS NOT CHECKING THERE MIRRORS OR EVEN LOOKING NEXT TO THEM!

Cheers

Quick to pull out in front of you and slow to get going.
Blind so they cant see the speed limit is eg 60 not 50
Indicate they are going to turn at a round about but go straight on....
OR Stop for nobody at a round about...
Should check indicators to see if they are working now that I have had a winge...

im not being racist but the vast majority off people that do these things above mentioned in front of me are nearly allways asian or indian.For example friday night crusing down main north road doing speed limit adn about 50 meters in front a indian guy pulls out in a van this is a 60 zone,Me thinking yeh he'l get some speed up **** no i had to slow to 25 k's or i was going to drive throu him non the less he got a **** load off verbal abuse lol

[walesy]

i was driving out to a mates place once and there is about 5k of 100kmp/h zone where some old bag sat on 70 the whole way! there was a build up of cars behind them and very little oppertunity to overtake... these are the ppl causing accidents, if you cant OR are scared to do the speed limit either stay off the road or pull over and let ppl pass

[calais_304]

totally agree with everything metioned above this post, if people are to bloody paronoid to drive a car at the limit or can't take a split sec to check over your shoulder AT LEAST, then stay off the bloody road your obviously not competent enough.

4cyl cars really get me going, i don't care what anyone says there all phuckin slow pieces of shit, the only quickish ones i see are only ever driven by p platers and getting flogged like no 4 banger could be flogged.

what takes the cake though is f&*kwit wankers that don't know how to merge into traffic....90%of drivers i see don't know how to

[Mr Squishi]

Ahh, the joys of Tasmania. Comparatively little traffic to worry about
Just Victorian tourists in 4WDs who cut you off when you are travelling in the wet at 80.
And idiots who think the public road outside my house is a parking lot, and park in the middle of the road so nothing can get past.

Every day I drive about 25Km's each way on the freeway here in Perth. I know what lane I need to be in where and every day I see the same people desperately trying to get across the lanes to get to their exit, like it must have moved from the day before or something.
No one knows how to merge they leave that to the last minute too so we all have to stop while they sort out who gets to go first because they all just try to keep their lane going as long as they can and then just end up stopped 3 cars wide in one lane! Maybe they're all on drugs as even though they know the lane ends and they got stuck there yesterday and the day before the dumb buggers still drive in that lane like maybe its longer today.
It's really too hard to put their crap driving in to words!!!

[sircruisealotVS]

some people are just morons, plain and simple. the other night i was driving to work and as i was coming down the road that my work is on (a duel lane 70k/hr zone) i see in the distance bright white lights on the back of a car. i think to myself whats this all about....
as i get closer i see its this friggen clown REVERSING along the inside lane (at considerable speed!) to get back to a turn he missed...i mean wtf!? who does that!
its crazy some of the stuff ive seen since living in qld, drivers are much worse up here than when i lived in nsw.
oh, and if its dark and cloudy and raining like a bastard...how hard is it to flick on your driving lights so other people can see you easier.
another story...from monday night coming back from the city, its raining pretty damn heavy and im on the M1, in the middle lane doing about 95k/hr(speed limit is 100k/hr) everyone in the "slow lane" is doing like 70-80k/hr.
all of a sudden i see these lights behind me coming up VERY quickly, and then sit right on my ass (by the way, the fast lane was completely free to merge into, hardly anyone in it) for like 2-3k's then they decide to overtake.
when they come up past me i see its this young chick in a beat up old sigma, revving its tits off to overtake me, swerving and sliding back and forth through her lane and half of mine because its obvious she has NO TRACTION, probably because her tyres are bald as, and then she suddenly decides she wants to be in the middle lane again and without any indication merges right infront of the dude infront of me almost taking him out!
i just backed off even more after that, trying to put as much distance between her and me as i could, a crash was iminent. some people are just insane when they get behind the wheel.

[padrickz88]

the worst! is when your driving down the main rd, and some guy drives straight through a stop sign (not give way) and comes straight into the 3rd lane when your in the 1st and you slam on the brakes and just miss him. i seriously wonder how did they get there license? im on my p'z and i no better so they should :S...... idiots...

[MadE21]

wankers with one headlight out, or one way out of adjusment so it blinds you. then you get the wankers who put on highbeams because they have one out. then you see the same cars over and over agian,makes me feel like putting a wheel brace through the one that works.

also people who take 2 weeks to get past 40kmh, makes me pissed off. and also people drivng more than 10km under the speed limit when the conditons are fine

[brownie82]

Roundabouts!!! Is it still give right of way or Give way to first at (not on) the roundabout?? Oh yeah and mergers onto the freeway come on thinking its still a school zone. Also ppl that are in the Left hand lane and when you come up to enter they dont move over even if the other lanes are clear, so now you cant enter smoothly and at speed.

Some people!!

[padrickz88]

another thing i forgot to mention, the other day i was on the freeway going over the whitten bridge(cant spell) going towards broady... and i was in the left lane and i was doing around 95-100 (100km speed limit) and there is this old lady doing around 80, and im kool with that and decide to overtake and as soon as i get in the middle lane some c*ck suckin trucky (im not stereotyping them, im saying just him) comes into my lane behind me and speeds up and im overtaking the lady and someone infront of her and this guy was right up my ass, no shit all i saw in my rear view was his grill, i reckon he would of been about 3 feet from my bumper (seriously) and he was slowly coming so im like f*ck this, because he would of ran me off the road, then i accelerated past the 2 cars i was over taking and got into the left lane, and they guy flew past me... me and my m8 that was in the car with me seriously fort he was going to hit us, and so did 2 other m8s in a car infront of us.. h8 them drivers...... luckily i havnt got a ticket for going over the speed limit (only about 5 k'z to get back into the left lane), and even if i did it would of been worth it.. hmmm a fine or mah life? some people shouldnt be on the road...


ok got all that out of the way all happy now....

That's what I hate as well, if everyone did the zip thing (one car let's someone else in, etc) traffic would flow a lot better, if I work day shift it takes me 20 minutes to drive the first 6 k from home because idiots can't merge from 3 lanes to 2 lanes

[brownie82]

Oh yeah and ppl when the merge onto the freeway they leave right to then of the merging lane to cut in when they couldve done it 100mts before. So now everyone has to brake to let them in because they thought they were gonna get pole position.

Save it for Race Day W**KER!!

Sorry ill leave now im just getting peeved off with the thought of all the idiots out there!! Iknow imn no angel either but i do have common sence.

Cheers

Thats the bit I couldn't manage to put into words. Would love to dig a big f**ker hole at the end of the on ramp, so all these tossers who don't manage to merge just fall in the hole and die and I can get home from work in 25mins instead of over an hour!!!

ive always been told that at a roundabout you give way to traffic to your right (as you would in any situation).

We who think sensibly about driving (doesn't mean we always drive sensibly)appear to be in the minority here in Perth. I put up with this every day also. Don't forget when four lanes become three, the merging lanes stop and the other two lanes stop in sympathy. Perth drivers don't trust Perth drivers not to do something stupid.

Roundabouts: Officially (in WA) you must give way to vehicles on the roundabout. Unofficially (to save crashing at a higher than posted speed limit trying to beat another car onto the roundabout) give way to your right.
The Police often give this advice to save them cleaning up the mess and it is just the safer thing to do.

[1vngal]

All I can say is, the idiots and roundabout situation could be worse. We could have to deal with one of these babies....I'd like to see this one taken at 100kms an hour.

The 'magic roundabout' in Swindon, Wiltshire, England.

Traffic flow around the larger, inner roundabout is actually anti-clockwise, whereas traffic flows in the usual clockwise manner around the five mini-roundabouts and the outer loop.
