    I really miss freeway driving!!!!!

    Gees I love the way people cant drive!!!!!!!
    2 misshaps on the freeway today on the way home.
    The first somebody ran into the back of another car,minor damage not tow aways at all,both vehicles safely parked in the emergency lane.WHY DOES EVERYONE NEED TO SLOW TO 20KS FOR A LOOK???? Real clever when you have traffic bearing down on you at 100ks+
    The second,mutch more dangerous!!!!!WHY CANT PEOPLE MERGE??????? The freeway traffic was busy but mooving at 100ks+.WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST IN TRYING TO MERGE AT 60ks,at 3 on ramps I copped this,they putter along at 60 till they run out of merge lane then just pull onto the freeway,glad I wasnt driving a Series Landy,there is no way you can deal with that with drum brakes!!!! If they hit the traffic at the same speed they will get let in.
    Just love driving in the city

    Merging is unfortunately, one of those tasks in Perth that requires more grey matter than is given to you for the purpose of keeping your heart beating.

    Perth is famous for ****wits on the road.

    Its like the NZ of AUS.

    Well, something rather odd happened today - traditionally on Christmas Day, the F3 heading North out of Sydney is chockas and down to a crawl, but today it was everyone heading in to Sydney!

    Mind you, we didn't enter the freeway right away, used the old highway until North of Berowra heading out; and the highway again from Hawkesbury River till Mt Colah. I find freeways generally rather more boring than the old roads they make obsolete. So I suppose having these idiots just keeps us on our toes, so to speak.

    They do, where the merging line is a broken line, then the car with its nose in front has the right of way and the other car has to yield. If the merging line is a solid line then the merging car has to yield.
