Thread: It's gotta be a long week end = idiots

Mario, Wifey & I see the stuff you're talking about all the time. What to do about it?.......I don't know.
Police & the do-gooders are on about "speed, speed, speed", all the time, We're well & truly sick of it, because there's plenty of the stuff that you're talking about, that causes just as many, if not more, accidents........but of course it's harder to police?
Pickles.

Here in Kuala Lumpur road rules are flaunted constantly. The only real rule in practice is "me first".

But with all that (above, which could fill a book), the behavior I hate most is during the regular as clockwork heavy/torrential monsoon rains every afternoon in the season - so many people insist on turning their hazard lights while they drive.

Yeah sure it makes you more visible to other traffic while you drive to the conditions. But with so many so often doing this - what happens when there is a REAL HAZZARD in front that you need to completely stop for?

I'm beginning to get the feeling you are living on the wrong side of town.

Mick you could be right.

Then Idiot is almost at the intersection of Ferntree Gully road and stops 10 metres in front of the green light and holds up all the traffic behind them, and has their left turn indicator going!. So pardon every other road user Idiot!, they'll just wait at your beckon and call for you to make your missed left turn.

I imagine idiot was listening to a GPS that instructed turn left, and was repeating it to turn left. Idiot missed the slip lane to turn left.

Idiot probably couldn't think for itself and drive through the intersection and maybe use it's small brain and do a U turn and come back to the intersection.

These are the idiots that cause accidents and road rage of other drivers.
You sort of want jump out of my car and rip the ignition keys out and throw them down the nearest drain hole. This idiot shouldn't have a licence, cause they can't drive.

Rant over..... I feel better now.

Until next weekend when the day trippers frequent our local roads

Sit back and laugh at it mate. Too many of them to get grumpy. Teaching Mr L plates to drive in the left lane. He keeps commenting that he is over taking so many people doing significantly under the speed limit ( he is 5 under most of the time)

I cop that stupid driver syndrome 4 nights a week on the Monash. Inside lane of 4 lanes, oh it's 1km from exit I need that exit & cross the 4 lanes (does not matter whats around) off we go.
