I'm convinced they look to make sure that I'm really coming straight at them and then pull out in front of me anyway.
    Kangaroos behave like that dont they - they seem to have a reverse survival instinct.
    This might be the start of the end of the human race.

    I do enjoy having a beer listening to some fine music and watching supposedly sane and licensed drivers attempt to smash into each other and unsuspecting pedestrians , on the T intersection opposite my humble little abode. Always good for a bit of light entertainment on a Friday as the light slowly fades.

    My Defender on the other hand - silver, usually clean when in Melbourne, has one of Murray's nice bars on the front with DRLs, so it's not like it's invisible, is fair game for cutting up, pulling out on/in front of and generally seems to attract **** poor drivers.

    I wonder if it's a perceived insurance thing?
    The Defender is new-ish and so must be insured, so is fair game to act like a dick in front of in the knowledge that you could argue blame and might get some insurance pay out should the worst happen.
    But the disco is old and so might not be, so it's not worth taking the risk tangling with??

    An example from this morning of another of Melbourne's finest drivers doing exactly as I describe above!
    There was barely a car length between me and the Falcon in front, yet this bozo cut in from the LH lane and wanted to occupy it.
    (I would have posted the vid from my dash cam but it contains copious amounts of profanity, so thought I'd better not )

    Happens there all the time - they turn off City road into Power Street from the left lane then blat up the left hand lane through Kavanagh until they realise they want to be turning onto the Westgate. Same thing happened to me there last Wednesday...

    My dash cam is full of gold that I've saved - I should download it...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    You could keep dash cams Australia filled for a week or so 😄

    Yep that is exactly the route I take every morning! You're right there's usually at least one person trying it. First time I've remembered to keep the vid though!
