You've hit the nail on the head with that one Ian.
They are my latest pet hate. Passive aggressive, non sharing, incompetent or, in many cases, incorrigible Hoons.

Yep, both ends of the bell curve. Between Lismore and Bangalow there are a couple of decent hills that I need a good run at, I can guarantee some gormless **** will be struggling to maintain the heady velocity of half the speed limit, in a Subaru, just before the climbs. :bat::2up:
The most useless drivers in the country reside in NE NSW, draw a line NW from Ballina to the border and you've captured them.

They of course turn right on red for all those nitpickers.
Surely if they can do it we can too.

I agree. It's brilliant over in the USA and I've always wondered why we did not in WA. More infuriating if other states have it. Because you are not crossing traffic it is inherently safe. It drives me nuts how we need to do a 7 year study into such things before even a trial.

Trumpland is not the only place it is legal.

Yep. I have to agree that the drivers in the USA are better than us. I just can't understand why they are twice as likely to die on the road.:unsure:

Probably something to do with their odd seatbelt laws, in some states.

Yes. I didn't think of that one. They do love to die for their rights, but I admire that in a way.

No. My theory was, that they were such good polite drivers, because every second one of them has a gun.

Could it be insurance rates based upon claims and anfringements , or are drivers in other parts of the world less selfish towards others including pedestrians and cyclists?
