There's a special place in hell for drivers who...

Drive under the speed limit on country roads and then magically speed up once they get to an overtaking lane.



Don't understand how to merge correctly, or know the difference between the different types of merging.


Park in disabled parking spots without a permit

People who want to turn, come to a complete stop and then look for traffic.

Heroes who are constantly zipping between lanes on the freeway in peak-hour like they are playing a video game. Always have a chuckle when I pull up at the toll-gate lights at moreorless the same time.

Drivers who sit on 60 in an 80 zone in the hills and then continue at 60 through a township with a 50 zone. Puzzling.

People who think if they are in the right hand lane of a zipper lane, they have right of way from the left hand lane at all times

People who think the right hand lane in a 60km/h zone is the "fast lane".

One of the most frustrating type of road moron.
There you are patiently waiting for a chance to get past legally and suddenly they are up to the limit, only to slow down when the overtaking lane ends.
I found them very common in WA.

My more commonly found in SA pet hate is the person behind you in an adjacent lane who speeds up and blocks you when you indicate you want to change lanes.
Solution: indicate briefly when in position and go before they have time to react.

I'm intrigued by people who still run V8s.
This is the same model and colour as my last V8 bought in 1969 when petrol was about 8 cents a litre.
(It went with my wife in the divorce of 1975.)

My current car puts out 265bhp, compared with the HK's 250, and from a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder turbo motor.
(Admittedly it doesn't have the low end torque and you have to use the revs more but I find that more fun.)

WA is easily the worst driving state in Australia (Don't worry SA are probably a comfortable 2nd). WA road laws let far more internationals drive on the road as soon as they step foot in the state than any other state in Australia due to the states mining industry. Some of the shit I have seen on WA roads goes unmatched and with work I consistently have driven in each state in the country on a monthly basis.

-Motorcyclists on the Kwinana/Mitchell Freeways have to be seen to be believed, saw one bloke shooting through a 1.5 metre gap between 2 cars doing 100 kph, he was doing at least 125 kph and was texting at the same time. Saw another bloke popping a mono on the same road and was wearing only a pair of footy shorts and sunglasses (No shoes, no shirt and no helmet) at roughly 120 kph.

-Had a kiwi with a unsecured stack of gyprock pull over on the edge of a 100 kph highway once and as he stopped the momentum threw the gyprock across the 4 lane road like frizbees and as I tried to break and dodge them the bloke behind me went straight up my arse and the gyprock smashed in to my car anyway. I went back to the bloke with the unsecured load and he said I should have seen it coming and wasn't driving to the conditions, so therefore this whole thing is my fault......... I don't know to this day how I didn't belt the shit out of him.

I could seriously write a book on the things I saw there.

Driving on a Motorway in England that was 4 lanes wide on a bridge over the Themes a French registered left hand drive BMW going well above the 70mph going coast to coast across all lanes then nearly runs up the arse of a truck. Wanker!


That reminds me. South Australia has no clue how to drive on motorways........if you are not going to go anywhere near the speed limit get in the bloody left hand lanes :shock:

Has happened numerous times to me traveling through Inglewood. It's not exclusive to country roads though, the amount of times I've seen halfwits doing 70km in an 80km zone on Main North Road then doing the same in a 60km zone are ridiculous.
