Some freakbag keyed my car yesterday.

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.

Coxy said: i wouldnt say it a habit but my mates brother does it alot.

at a roundabout, if he turns right he uses his right indicator, when he turns left he uses left indicator.

and when he goes straight he uses his hazzard lights.

he doesnt do it often, but when he does everyone behind him gets fired up.

My mother in law freaks out while driving. She is so worried she drives slower than the speed limit and avoids main roads, even if it takes longer. This is in a country town were the traffic is minimal at best. She lived in Sydney though up until 3 years ago.

It worries me when people are so freaked out by driving. They really should not have their license. They are a danger to others.

phatbass82 said: What get's my goat lately is bloody roundabouts. Everyone here on the Gold Coast indicates the wrong bloody direction when leaving the roundabout, like they are turning (when looking at them front on) left when they are going straight.

There is also another habbit where people are friggin' turning right from the left lane in a two lane roundabout. What do the people do when they are on the right lane (going straight) and come across an idiot like this (turning right from the left lane)? Blast the s**t out of them with your horn! That's what I do!

Bwahhahahah, you ever use the cotlew st round about near the mobil servo? Oh i hate that round about... tooooo many times people do stupid things on that round-about. Yesterday as i was coming around the round-about on the way to pickup the gf some stupid woman driver (YES WOMEN DRIVERS SUCK! Show me a good female driver and i'll hand my licence over. Every accident ive been involved in featured a FEMALE driver hitting me, i was even parked for the most recent one she revered a lunch truck into my car) decided that it was just well her turn to pull out infront of me and the car beside me, worst of all she made a point of looking AWAY from us so as if somehow if she couldnt see us we didnt exist.

Another thing that really gets my beef up is pedistrians... Now I KNOW i have to give way to them cause they're dumb ass cattle who cant afford to own a
