Thread: Are aussie drivers lunatics?

The time of day I most fear being on the road is school end when hordes of absolutely hopeless mums/dads are picking up the offspring. We have several high schools near us and at least 3 are private and the arrogance/incompetence displayed by so many is incredible considering their kids are in the car and many times they have younger ones in as well.
I stopped on the amber light yesterday outside one school and that outraged the tosser in his new Merc behind me and he just managed to swerve around and come to very hard stop beside me. Then full bore take off and across my front into the left turn lane.
Complete and utter lunacy.
Then there's the big strong teacher riding his bike to school and I slowed down to allow him to go through a small roundabout safely. This small act of consideration got me the finger as he rode through the gates into the school.
Nice one mate, no wonder all those P plated big kids show the same pig ignorance.

Still hasn't been charged, too early to speculate. But you have to ask, if his brakes failed, what made him accelerate down the ramp. No speculation needed on this one. $ 400 a day habit. Most people don't earn that much.
