Social \ bad driving habits!

cmpa1970 says:

boy am i pissed! i really hate it when drivers in front of me stop at a busy traffic light. then casually indicate they're turning MINUTES AFTER STOPPING! forcing me to wait when i could've chosen a different lane. i also hate it when drivers wash their windscreens while driving! wait till you're stationary so you don't spray the four cars behind you! ok, rant over.....

Drivers that don't indicate when they change lanes (or just one flash), drivers that tailgate, drivers that cut across several lanes at the last minute to turn left/right...

I got a ticket for doing 63 in a 60 zone, so now i always keep under the limit. I hate tailgaters, love slaming on the brakes when they are behind me, If they crash its their fault.

There are simply too many bad driving habits to list here. All I'll say is a little courtesy would be nice, just a little.

Also as a Melbournian it pains to say we have the slowest drivers in the world. Even Adelaide drivers are in more of a hurry. Adelaide for Gods sake!

It's funny, I can't stand the people that think it's a 50 zone when it's 60! And people that indicate 100 metres from their turn, so you're left saying "Just hurry up and turn already!" And oh cmpa, that thing that you said about people not indicating until the last minute at a traffic light is one of the worst! And people that insist on indicating right when they're going straight ahead at a round-a-bout, what's with that?! Indicating is a simple task, that should not be so hard to master

What do you do when four people turn up at a round-a-bout, all at the same time, all from different directions? Because I just go. Everyone else seems to just sit there all baffled as if they're saying "duuuhh what do I do now?"

People just don't think.

I want to know how most drivers got their licenses. Their are three kinds of drivers, the ones who are arrogant ***holes who speed all the time which you sit there wondering "How have they not caused an accident yet?", the ones who are over precasious and go 40 in an 80 zone, and then there are the ones who know how to drive.

How do you manage that? They are all completely different, unless you know how to drive, you are over precausious but you ignore road rules and drive like an idiot anyway.

Last time i was in canada, some guy was given a ticket doing 120 in a 100 zone, he didnt get it for speeding, but for holding up traffic. I found that funny.

No actually its your fault, its an offence to deliberatly stop , even if your avoiding an animal (your expected to run it over rather than cause an accident), ask the cops.

(excluding freeways)You must have room between cars to stop safely. Its what the insurance company tells me, dont know what the law says. If you hit the car in front, its always your fault for not leaving enough room.

Its not an offence to stop for an animal, but they advise against.

I never stop, just brake hard.

Haha, burned rubber smell much?

When you're trying ot overtake a car, they slow down to say 80 in a 100 zone on a bend, then it comes to the straight, you're about to overtake, and they speed up to 100!! AH. And i'm only 9 months into my L's :P


EDIT. @post before, if it is deemed to be deliberate, which is what you're saying. Then they will make you pay you're own premium (i think thats what its called) to your insurance company, as it won't be deemed their fault OR your fault, if anyone can back me up on this?

(that makes no sense as i read back over it )

That situation can be annoying but sometimes when there's two sets of pumps together one has cheapo fuel and the other has premium, so it depends on what you want.

That is such a stupid, stupid thing to do. Not only are you endangering your life and the driver's behind you, but also anyone else who is near you, both drivers and pedestrians.

A man in America once did something similar on a 100KM/h freeway. He raced in front of a driver he didn't like, and then braked hard. The car behind him swerved to avoid him, became airborne when it hit an island, landed upside down on another car in the incoming lane. Both drivers were dead. The guy who braked hard got First-Degree Murder, two consecutive life sentences.

Hate pulling up next to other P platers at traffic lights, 9/10 times it'll turn into a drag race... not that I participate but when they speed off the line, it's pretty obvious what they were after.

Another peeve, when I'm first off when the lights go green, purely because I kept my eyes on the road, every P plater (P for pro, remember that kids) and A LOT of full licensed drivers just speed past me because they think their ego's got damaged because they weren't watching the lights.

Simple fact that, if I go 5k's above the limit, I'm "hooning", if I go on the speed limit, I'm a bad driver. What's funny is that nearly all full licensed drivers are going 5k's above OR 5 below. Hardly any one seems to know that 80km/h means 80... not 85.. not 75.

Oh all you Melbourne people think you have the worst drivers. pfftt! I grew up in Melbourne, lived for 7 years in Sydney and now live in Queensland.

Sydney = Most arrogant, inconsiderate, speeding consistent drivers of all three.
Queensland = slowest most non aware drivers I've ever seen
Melbourne = Best of them all. Except when they spot my NSW plates. Then they become the same as Sydney.

My pet hate is slow drivers. Doing 50 in a 60. Why? Safety only. What happens behind a slow driver is all the cars bunch up, so when there is an accident its soooo much worse then if the appropriate gap had been left.

The stuff about filling up at a petrol station above. like 3 posts above.



The most painful thing anyone can do at a petrol station is move their car before paying. Why? think of the poor console operator. he has track of 26 pumps, 18 cars, 30 people. You move your car and all of a sudden he has your plate written down and on its way to the police cause he thinks you have done a runner. Every petrol station takes a note of all plates as they come in. Move your car before paying and your plate doesn't get crossed off. DONT move your car, it does no one any good. just get inside and pay for your fuel quickly. Don't bloody hang around to clean your windows it pisses off the console opp and the car behind you.
