Things that give you the sh1ts

If its a 60km zone and i know Im turning right at some point, i will sit in the right lane as long as i want.

I'll do the limit, and if people are up my arse, its because they're speeding, so f**k em.

There's no "keep left unless overtaking" rule on roads under 80kms, so I'm not doing anything wrong.

Absolutely. If I'm in the right lane and doing the posted speed limit, get ****** to those climbing all over me. I'm doing the limit, if you're wanting to do over the limit that's not my problem.

I'll just move across and let them through, it's not worth the bullshit that can follow.

Typically, I agree, but if I'm going right at some point they can wait.

Same

F**k wits who think the minute it rains all speed limits drop by 25kms an hour. If you can't drive in the wet stay off the f**king road. Idiots

Or you could just have a bit of respect for other road users that want to drive at a speed they are comfortable with and you could just leave a bit earlier!!

That'd be a typical response from you.

So it's ok to do 40kms and hour sitting in the right lane? Yeah ok Benny.

Maybe read my other posts Carey my boy.

I have no problem at l with doing the speed limit that's fine. But, that's my point sitting in the right lane doing 40kms an hour is absolutely ridiculous and causes issues. Sit in the left lane and drive at your leisure

[bennymacca]

Yep, It's the sitting in the right lane that shits me, not the speed.

Petrol was $1.21 this morning on my way to work, I had to duck out at lunch and it had jumped nearly 20c per litre. If I could walk into OTR in the morning and just pay I would've, usually it's a 10 minute wait while the one person working is making 26 coffee's.

Left lane is perfectly fine as long as it's under 80km/h or there is no keep left unless overtaking sign marked.

So we have to beware of red cars?

There's that key phrase again!!

Got me stuffed how that mob are profitable given how you never know how long you're going to be tied up inside waiting to be served. Stopped using tehm well over two years ago.

Get what you deserve when you choose to use them IMO

A bit hard when they're the only ones on my side of the road on my journey to work, I usually go for a drive up Prospect Road at an obscure time, they never put their prices up.

Yes. Especially, red racing cars.

I reckon there is, I was travelling along right on the speed limit as there was a copper right behind me, he got into the left lane, tooted his horn and signaled for me to get in the other lane, I thought he was pulling me over but he didn't stop so I gather that's what he was implying.

I reckon it is something along the lines of "...drive as close to the left hand side as practicable..."

Thats the lane, not the road. If its two lanes and under 80kms, you can be in whichever lane you want for as long as you want.

Common sense should prevail.

I don't mind OTR.

[Lightning McQueen]

I don't mind OTR.

I generally don't mind them, just not in the mornings.

[Jim05]

I don't mind OTR.

Really?
I avoid them at all costs but had to use their David Tce servo one day last week. Filled up with fuel and by time I went in to pay there was about a dozen people lined up with 1 young fella behind the counter making them all coffees.
Was running late so put the exact money in the counter and told him the pump number and he hits back with wait your bloody turn! By this time I was fuming and hit back with "You are a ******* petrol station how about serving people with petrol first" He came and snatched the cash out of my hand with a scowl lol.
I wont be ever going back to one, would rather drive 5km up the road if they are too stingy to employ extra staff.
Why would anyone buy their shit coffee anyway? Plenty of decent cafes around

I have one statement, then one question.

Statement. If Im in the right hand lane doing 60kms in a 60km zone, the only way you could possibly have a problem with that is if you're speeding. I won't change the way I drive to suit people who want to break the law. If you're speeding in the right lane, people in the left lane checking their mirrors to move over before a right hand turn have to judge if you're coming faster than you should. Thats just one dangerous situation it causes.

Question. IF you are in the right hand land and NOT speeding, what the f**k are you doing in it for long enough to get aggitated with people driving too slow in it. Surely you're only in it for a few hundred meters before you turn right. Right?

It's a courtesy thing, I'd sooner not piss off the wrong person on the road, each to their own though

[RustyCage]

When I was doing my driving lessons my instructor said

"The biggest ******* on the roads are the people who think there is any difference between the left and right lanes when the speed limit is less than 80. Anyone who thinks the right hand lane is the fast lane is an imbecile."
