Thread: Disgraceful behaviour by Discovery driver

There's a song in my heart. You're all lucky you can't hear me sing it.

At least we pay for the privlage

Me too CBT, me too.

Here we go, here we go, here we go,
Here we go, here we go, here we go-o.
Here we go, here we go, here we go,
Here we go, here we go, here we go.

(that's the song as I heard it)

As a car driver .... I am well aware other car drivers have blind spots and I actually try to position myself away from them when that's possible. And take extra care when it is not possible.

presumably, he wasn't speeding in reverse, so why would the police be interested?!!!

AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 296

296 Driving a vehicle in reverse

(1) The driver of a vehicle must not reverse the vehicle unless the driver can do so safely.

Offence provision.

(2) The driver of a vehicle must not reverse the vehicle further than is reasonable in the circumstances.

Offence provision.

Clearly the driver is a knob head and his contact with a superior brand of off road vehicle wasn't enough to cure him of being a knob head.

Reversing car also must give way to others. Which is an automatic fail in a driving test.
