Ford Ranger Drivers - is it me or are most dickheads?

My mate would agree about the popularity and speed of the dual cabs, as he calls the morning drive to work "The Great Australian Ute Race".

Driving on the freeway in the dark with only the fog lights on - so no rear lights on - is now a thing with hot hatches, and I've seen it a few times lately on the Eastern Freeway. Obviously breaks a few road rules, apart from being utterly stupid. Pulled up next to someone in a hot hatch at the traffic lights after the freeway and told him his lights were off and he put his window back up and then drove off with his lights still off.

I suspect they might be the daylight running lights as if any like my D3 IIRC the rear fog lights come on first and then the front?

I must say I hate aholes passing on roundabouts regardless of what they are driving. Even Land Rovers.

My D2 has separate switches for front and rear fog lights, which are are totally independent of each other.

No, these are the fog lights they're using. May be that they think that they can avoid the speed cameras?

I think it falls under the heading "Advertising works"

I mean, it WON Finke didnt it??? [bigrolf]

How do you pass on a roundabout? If there are two lanes, then each driver is entitled to travel at their own speed in each lane. Or do you mean those single lane roundabouts that are really wide so trucks can navigate safely? If so, and one car is travelling slowly, I don't see a problem with overtaking as long as the exit is wide enough.

Dual lane roundabouts are just dual lane roads in essence. Overtaking, obviously if safe, is neither rude nor unlawful. Single lane, not so much.

Come up my way on the weekend and take a look at Tesla drivers, although with them it's usually arrogance. Are they all arrogant? Of course not.

You have to admit the Ranger Rover L322 is more of a classy car than a hoon Ford Ranger. [bigwhistle]Heather
