Thank you.

If I were an elected member of Parliament, trucks and other slow moving machinery would be banned on city roads in peak hours (7-10am and 4-7pm)

4WD in general - why does one person need a big ass Landcruiser to drive to work, this includes hilux's and the like (unless you're a tradie)

Why must our roads be clogged up with all these monster trucks, with only one person in them,?

It's mainly because i hate not being able to see what's in front of me. I never trust the car directly in front and will often gage on the the second car in front for emergency braking etc.... Can't do this when wankers in their colorados with massive wheels are sitting in front of me. Because of course you need such big wheels on our roads. Their called 4WD for a reason - because they're supposed to be used off road, not bloody on it!

2) Uber drivers can go suck a big one, In fact anything Uber can go suck a big one.

Seriously though, Adelaides roads can't deal with this traffic. This morning alone, I didn't get out of second gear once on North East Road.

I possibly just need to move to a town that doesn't have such traffic. Driving to and from work is the most stressful part of my day. Seriously.

It's bloody ridiculous


It's North East Road FFS! :lol: It's the busiest road in Adelaide.

You're taking trucks off the road? Without trucks Australia stops.

NOOOOOOOOO, Read it properly. only off major city roads during peak hours.

In other words, be on the freeway or out of city limits before 7am, or after 9am

WTF are you on about, i didn't say they were.

I'm saying, they can leave a little earlier so as not to cause even more congestion on our roads.

Most trucks travel at night anyway.

I'm sure all the receiving docks around the nation will be happy to shutdown for 3 hours twice a day or take deliveries in the middle of the night.

First of all, Corolla drivers are the second worst drivers, only behind Skoda drivers. Mostly due to the fact that most Corollas are driven by women, asians or asian women.

Secondly, I've done my time in a piece of shit, and want to get a grown ups car.

Doesn’t ‘asians’ cover women too?
Just men?

I believe some asians are also men. Male asians cant drive either. Hence why I was rear ended by a Subaru last month.

Asian women are worse than asian men though, so I double down on them.

Its like a Super Goal, it's still a goal, but its 9 points.

personally i think the biggest difference to peak hour traffic on main roads could be made by giving all bus stops a cut out into the footpath. that way when they stop for passengers they dont just make the left lane a car park.

my pet peeve is camry drivers...

my brother has a phev outlander, and loves it. wasnt really to my taste when i drove it, but that was only a quick round the block test. he reckons the only time it uses fuel is when the computer decides that the existing fuel in the tanks is old so uses it up so it doesnt go off.
