you shouldn't be on the road if......

[bangers]

you can't drive the speed limit

you think your car can't do the speed limit with an empty box trailer on the back

you drive under the speed limit but speed up when a truck tries to overtake

you think a truck can pull up in the same distance you can

you speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down....etc.

can't wait your turn in a que trying to get past a slow poke

hit the brakes when a trucks on your tail trying to get past you cos your slow

have to drive slow but won't move for people behind you

you think its funny to cut in front of a truck and hit the brakes

have to cut someone off for your exit cos you can't wait 10secs behind them

need high beams in a lit area

don't turn off high beams for on-coming traffic

need high beams while behind another vehicle

try to cut up the inside/outside of a turning semi

overtake around blind corners

overtake into on-coming traffic cos you are impatient

think the mirror is for hair and make-up

think a seatbelt is a luxury

you can't see over the steering wheel

sit so close to the wheel your arms are bent more than 45degrees

sit so far away your arms are dead straight

stopped you keep getting reverse when you want first

have so many toys on the parcel shelf you can't see out the rear window

need to look at the passenger to talk to them

need your hands to talk

have to drag race semi's off lights, they have 13-18 gears to get through. you will win even if you're in a sh*tbox colt you hero.





plenty more to come when i think of them. just a note....i see these things every day as a drive 10hrs a day in a semi.

isn't funny how truck drivers always use that expression

but when they're behind you in heavy traffic they think they only only need a metre or two.


and to add to the list what about idiots that insist on sitting in the right hand lane

[JD]

you dont know what the indicator stalk does or how to use it.

you think 20 KM/h is a land speed record for the fast lane

you insist on having your highbeams on even during the day!

you have so many gauges on your dash you cant see over it

your only approach to a corner is sideways

you think you are the only one on it, and act accordingly

[azkwazere]

what gets me is if your in the right hand lane, doing the speed limit, and someone gets ****ed at you for going "slow"" in their lane! WTF??? the right hand lane is not a speeding lane, you shouoldnt be breaking the law in that klane and therefore, even when i am 5kmh over, you should be riding up my ass cos you think im ging to slow..

FFS, the right hand lane is not BREAK THE LAW GO FAST SUPER LANE.

grr.

aZk.

[Patrio7]

I don't know about anyone else but if a truck wants to get past me then i let it asap and anyone with half a brain would know that lane jumping in front of a truck at some lights is downright ASKING for trouble.

I see this all the time. I would love to see some ****wits car get damaged trying to take the inside and the trailer cuts in on top of there car (obviously not injure the person, just damage their car) Be good for a laugh and they'll never overtake a turning vehicle again!

And speaking of trucks overtaking, coming down the princess highway doing 120, semi comes flying up the outside (flat bed no load) changing lanes every two seconds to avoid the tools in the right lane too stupid to get outta the way. crazy stuff,

[bangers]

keep adding them boys. some good ones so far. maybe some dick will read these and realise what they do and that they're a wanker and a danger to others.

ps. i'm not saying all truckies are angels.

[VicCop]

...bright red and blue flashing lights and a blaring sirens aren't enough to give you the idea to GET OUT OF THE WAY or STOP even if you have a green light!

[crazyspoon05]

You need to have speakers loud enough to be used in a nightclub and you feel it necessary for all others around you to listen to your **** music

Mate not to have a go at you or anything but truckies do try to leave more room in heavy traffic its just as soon as you leave a little gap people think you left it just for them to slot thier little lancer into, and you just end u
