    Are aussie drivers lunatics?

    Or at least, some of us.

    Ridiculous! Where does this rage come from?
    The behavior of some people is absurd. I just don't get it.
    On Wednesday I was making a normal turn onto a busy road and a clown roared up behind me, screeched around me, rushed a couple of hundred metres and then had to brake sharply to stop at the lights. I pulled up behind him and sat there shaking my head.
    And don't get me started on motorcyclists carving up the traffic.
    Like the two kids who looked about 15, no helmets, riding a trail bike without plates, obviously speeding, roaring along a busy dual lane road here in morning traffic. Seriously?

    WOW!! I was just returning from dropping my son off to school and heard the sirens. Looking around to see where the noise was coming from (to give way if necessary), saw the Ute on the other cars. Crazy! You couldn’t get a Ute to jump on to other cars if you tried!!!

    Yes I think that ice/meth have a lot to do with this sort of behaviour, No sane person would carry on like that.

    The sad reality is it seems a dash cam is a necessity in this day and age. I used to shake my head at cyclists with cameras on their helmets, thinking it was their aggressive riding causing problems. But if this is what these lunatics do to a driver in a vehicle, heaven help the bike riders.

    Some people are under a lot of stress. A third of jobs are casual so it's hard to pay the bills. Almost half of marriages fail. Lot of troubled kids around. Depression is a huge problem. Drugs etc.
    Still doesn't excuse this behavior though.

    Yes. Those poor perpetrators should receive counselling for their crime.
    Maybe a cash hand out as well. For the stress Rodney caused them.
